(ANSA) – ROME, MAY 26 – The chief prosecutor of Ukraine Iryna Venediktova told the BBC that she is investigating almost 14,000 cases of alleged war crimes by Russian forces. Speaking in London on her first trip out of Ukraine since the Russian invasion began, the prosecutor said that between 100 and 200 new cases come to light every day.
Venediktova met with the British Attorney General, Suella Braverman, and other officials to discuss what more the UK and other Western powers could do to support the investigation process.
“Today we have nearly 14,000 cases, war crimes alone, and nearly 6,000 related cases,” said the prosecutor, explaining that the most common alleged war crime is the bombing of civilian buildings, particularly hospitals and schools. Overall, she added, more than 1,000 medical and school buildings were destroyed, with civilians killed, but also looting and rape. Venediktova eventually revealed that he had begun to investigate the genocide allegations. (HANDLE).
