Ukraine on Tuesday accepted the International Criminal Court's jurisdiction to probe war crimes, including in its war-torn east, since February 2014, AFP reports.
"Ukraine accepts the jurisdiction of the court for the purpose of identifying, prosecuting and judging perpetrators and accomplices of acts committed on the territory of Ukraine since February 20 2014," said a letter, signed by Ukrainian Foreign Minister Pavlo Klimkin and accepted by the Hague-based court.
