in a report released last month that Russian forces committed war crimes in Ukraine, and said it was committed to “pursuing accountability.”
Ukraine’s prosecutor general, Iryna Venediktova, said Sunday in a post on Facebook that in Bucha alone, dozens of investigators were looking at evidence, while others were examining hundreds of bodies found in the Kyiv region. Her office was also looking into Russian actions in other areas of Ukraine.
