Canadian Ambassador to Ukraine Larisa Galadza stated this in an interview with "Interfax-Ukraine".

According to the diplomat, she believes in the possibility of bringing Putin to justice, as well as all those who committed war crimes in Ukraine.
Galadza added that Canada supports the ICC and all its work in Ukraine, as well as its work investigating international crimes around the world.

Galadza also called the issue of prosecution of the Russian Federation for the crime of aggression important.
"Canada is a member of the "Core Group" (Core Group - a coalition of countries working to create a special tribunal for crimes of aggression in Ukraine. - Ed.). And we are working with like-minded partners to understand how to prosecute for the crime of aggression, involve to the judicial responsibility of Russia for its aggression," she said.
