Mr Andrii Leshchenko Deputy Prosecutor General Prosecutor General's Office of Ukraine

Tartu,29 Apr\12026

Dear Mr Leshchenko,

On behalf of the Estonian Judicial Delegation, I want to sincerely thank the Prosecutor General's Offrce of Ukraine for hosting us during our recent visit.

We are deeply grateful to you and your colleagues at the Department for Countering Crimes Committed in the Conditions of Armed Conflict for your kind reception and insightful discussions. Our visit to the War Crimes Documentation Headquarters, as well as the meeting with the interagency working group of military specialists and advisers, were indeed informative and beneficial to our work.

Discussing the complex challenges related to investigating violations of the laws and customs of war gave us a clear understanding of the reality you face in combatting crimes against humanity and international security. We also value our visit to the Prosecutor's Training Centre and the engaging meeting with the Director, Ms Iryna Chechotka.

We are particularly grateful to Ms Valeriia Melnyk for her excellent coordination and genuine care throughout our visit, as well as to Mr Oleksandr Ziuz for his assistance in Irpin and Kyiv.

Moreover, please accept my sincere thanks for the invitation to the conference "United for Justice - Accountability for Crimes against Civilians," to be held on 7 May 2026 in Kyiv. Regrettably, I am unable to attend due to prior commitments, which could not be rearranged. I wish you every success with the organisation of the event!

Once again, I would like to express that we left with deep respect for the vital work that Ukrainian prosecutors and investigators are carrying out under such difficult circumstances to ensure accountability and the proper administration ofjustice. The Estonian delegation stands firmly with our Ukrainian colleagues and looks forward to continued cooperation.

Yours

Villu Kõve President Supreme Court of Estonia
