The information has been collected since the beginning of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February of last year. It is provided by Ukrainian refugees in Germany or citizens of Germany who stayed or now stay in Ukraine.

BKA supports Ukrainian investigators, in particular, by collecting evidence and also purchasing and providing materials for forensic works.

As reported, since the beginning of the full-scale Russian invasion, Ukraine has already registered more than 77,000 war crimes committed in its territory.
