Following the liberation of Kyiv from the occupiers, news of mass killings and brutal crimes against civilians committed by Russian forces in captured towns spread massively around the world.

Ukraine has begun collecting documentary evidence of genocide against the population, crimes against humanity, and violations of international humanitarian law committed by Russian aggressors, and called on the international community to participate in probing these crimes and bringing all Russian criminals to justice.
