LONDON (Reuters) - British foreign minister David Lammy will on Friday meet with his Ukrainian counterpart and 17 other foreign ministers in Lviv, western Ukraine, to confirm their support for the establishment of a Special Tribunal for the Crime of Aggression against Ukraine.
Britain's foreign office said in a statement the meeting would also be used to discuss how to secure peace in Ukraine.
"We stand for a just and lasting peace, for a secure Europe, and for accountability and justice," Lammy said in the statement.
The tribunal will be set up by the Council of Europe, the continent's leading human rights watchdog that was formed after World War Two to uphold rights and the rule of law.
The meeting falls on the same day that Russian President Vladimir Putin hosts Chinese President Xi Jinping and other leaders for a military parade on Red Square to mark the 80th anniversary of the World War Two defeat of Nazi Germany.
