"Destruction impresses": the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation are responsible for most crimes in Ukraine - the UN

The UN representatives concluded that the Russian military fired the districts that tried to capture and "attacked civilians who tried to escape. " Investigators visited 27 cities and villages, interviewed 191 victims and witnesses, inspected the places of destruction, graves, torture and prison.

"The United Nations Commission from Ukraine has found reasonable grounds to conclude that a number of military crimes, human rights violations and international humanitarian law have been committed in Ukraine. Undoubtedly, there is a need to be held accountable," the commission said on the day of the report.

"The Russian armed forces are responsible for the vast majority of violations, including for war crimes," the UN Human Rights Council report said in which events in Kyiv, Chernihiv, Kharkiv and Sumy regions from late February to March 2022 were studied . "These violations have affected the civilian population of Ukraine. The lost life goes on thousands.

The destruction of infrastructure is striking," said Eric Moss, the chairman of the commission, which documented attacks with the use of explosive weapons used in residential areas where Russian troops were attacking . There were cases of mass execution, illegal imprisonment, torture, ill -treatment, rapes and other varieties of sexual abuse that took place in the occupied Armed Forces of the Russian Federation.

People were delayed, some illegally deported to the Russian Federation, many are still considered missing. Sexual violence was applied to victims regardless of their age. In several cases, relatives were forced to look at such crimes. Families who have lost their relatives talk about the need for criminals to be punished for crimes.

The father, whose son was killed in Bucha, said that at first he wanted to find those responsible for the murder and commit a massacre, but now he wants to be involved in court, and that he was told the truth about what happened. UN representatives also recorded two cases of violations of international humanitarian law by Ukrainian forces qualifying as war crimes. The commission recommends that you coordinate international and national efforts for greater efficiency of investigations.

Representatives of the commission will contribute to the establishment of persons responsible for crimes. The Armed Forces, which were dealing with districts near Kiev, found dozens of bodies lying on the streets and the places of mass graves of victims of Russian occupation.

Official Moscow denies allegations of intentional blows to civilians, despite the fact that the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation were equalized with the land of the village, large and small cities throughout Ukraine during what was initially called "special military operation" in the Kremlin. Recall that in the estuary carried out exhumation of bodies of five children from natural burials. All children whose bodies were found in burials were killed from fragile wounds.
