On April 29, 2025, Deputy Chairman of the Security Council of the Russian Federation Dmitry Medvedev put forward an initiative to create an international tribunal similar to the Nuremberg Trials to assess the actions of all those who supported the Kiev regime during the conflict in Ukraine. Speaking at the marathon "Knowledge. First", he stated that the International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague, which issued an arrest warrant for Russian President Vladimir Putin, is not capable of handling this task.

"The international community needs to create a new structure, an alternative to the Hague court. Its jurisdiction should cover crimes of genocide, war crimes, crimes against humanity and acts of terrorism," Medvedev stressed.

Medvedev noted that if other countries refuse to participate in such a tribunal, Russia is ready to conduct trials in its own courts, as was the case after the Great Patriotic War.

"In 1943–1949, more than two dozen open trials in the USSR revealed facts of Nazi atrocities, and the perpetrators received harsh sentences," - he said.

According to him, the Nuremberg 2.0 tribunal must give a legal assessment of the actions of the “sponsors, ideologists and customers” of the Kyiv regime, including Western countries that supply weapons to Ukraine.

The Nuremberg Trials (1945–1946), which Medvedev mentioned, were the first international trial of war criminals of Nazi Germany. As stated on the website of the Prosecutor General's Office of the Russian Federation, it convicted 24 Nazi leaders of crimes against peace and humanity, sentencing 12 to death. Medvedev, referring to this precedent, previously stated that the Anglo-Saxon elites escaped punishment for supporting Nazism, and now the West is allegedly reviving fascism through Ukraine.

It is not specified which countries Medvedev intends to involve in the process.
