“Ukraine Is A Crime Scene” – ICC Chief Prosecutor

Russia calls its actions a “special operation” to destroy Ukraine’s military capabilities and capture “dangerous nationalists”, but Ukraine and the West say Moscow began an unprovoked “war of aggression” – now in its 50th day.

Ukraine a ‘crime scene’: ICC 

“Ukraine is a crime scene,” the International Criminal Court’s chief prosecutor has said on a visit to the town of Bucha west of Kiev, one of several towns where Russia is accused of killing civilians.

Prosecutor Karim Khan said there were “reasonable grounds to believe that crimes within the jurisdiction of the court are being committed”.

The ICC investigates allegations of war crimes, crimes against humanity, genocide and aggression. Russia has denied allegations of targeting civilians.
