Ukraine: Authorities say 20,000 recorded Russian war crimes

Ukrainian authorities say they have evidence of 20,000 possible war crimes in the three months since the Russian army invaded the country on February 24.

Police alone recorded 13,500 such cases, Ukrainian Interior Minister Denis Monastirsky told Ukrainian television.

“We work with foreigners, prosecutors, investigation teams, experts, but most of the (investigative) work is done by Ukrainian police,” he assured.

Evidence will be handed over to international organizations so that Russians accused of committing war crimes can be brought to justice, he added.

A young Russian soldier was sentenced this week to life in prison by a Ukrainian court in the first war crimes trial since the invasion began.
