Ukraine has opened investigations into 5,600 alleged war crimes since the Russian invasion began. They were aimed at 500 suspects from the ranks of the Russian military and the government in Moscow, including Kremlin boss Vladimir Putin, Ukrainian Attorney General Iryna Venediktova told the British broadcaster Sky News. “Vladimir Putin is the main war criminal of the 21st century.”
Among other things, Venediktova refers to the rocket attack on the Kramatorsk train station in eastern Ukraine, in which 52 people were killed on Friday, according to Ukrainian sources. “This is a war crime,” says the Attorney General. There is evidence that Russia was behind the attack. “These people just wanted to save their lives, they wanted to be evacuated,” she says, referring to the hundreds of refugees who were in the train station.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said last week that a “special mechanism” had been created to investigate Russian “war crimes” in Ukraine. He announced that everyone responsible would be found and punished. According to Selenskyj, international experts, prosecutors and judges are to take part in the investigation.
The International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague began investigations into possible war crimes in Ukraine at the beginning of March.
