The United States will withdraw from the panel investigating responsibility for the conflict in Ukraine

On March 17, according to the New York Times, people familiar with the matter revealed that the U.S. Department of Justice has quietly informed European officials that the United States is withdrawing from a multinational team aimed at investigating leaders who may be responsible for the invasion of Ukraine, including Russian President Vladimir Putin. This is the latest sign that the Trump administration is abandoning the promise of former President Joe Biden, who promised to hold Putin personally accountable for the conflict in Ukraine.
