The U.S. is withdrawing from an international group investigating those responsible for Russia's invasion of Ukraine, including President Vladimir Putin, it has been reported.

The Justice Department has informed European officials about plans to withdraw from the International Center for the Prosecution of the Crime of Aggression against Ukraine, according to The New York Times, which cited people familiar with the situation.

The decision is expected to be announced on Monday in an email to the staff and membership of the group's parent organization, the European Union Agency for Criminal Justice Cooperation (Eurojust).

Newsweek has contacted the Justice Department and Eurojust for comment.

misleading. The task force is investigating not only Russian aggression but war crimes. With the ICC having warrants out for many Russians involved in war crimes perpetrated against Ukrainians, including Putin, this takes some pressure off the Kremlin criminals.
