"We are outraged by the statements of the Investigation Committee of the Russian Federation – they have nothing to do either with international law, reality or common sense," the comment says.

"There is absolutely no basis for the exercise of jurisdiction by the Russian Federation in the territory of Ukraine, except prosecuting the crime of aggression committed by Russia against our country, and bringing the officials responsible for this crime to account."
