EU: War crimes in Ukraine ‘will not go unpunished’

European Justice Commissioner Didier Renders has vowed that war crimes in Ukraine will be prosecuted and that the atrocities committed after the Russian army invaded the country on February 24 “will not go unpunished”.

In an interview published yesterday by the Italian newspaper La Stampa, Mr. Renders clarified that eleven EU member states have begun investigating war crimes and have identified more than 600 suspects so far.

Investigations are under way both in Ukraine and in other European countries, where evidence is being collected and testimonies are being taken from people who fled the country to escape the conflict, the justice commissioner explained.

He emphasized, however, that evidence of war crimes must be properly gathered, as “if they contain false information or false news, it will be a disaster”.
