Ukraine
War Crimes and Crimes Against Humanity
Russian forces in Ukraine have committed and continue to commit war crimes and crimes against humanity in the occupied regions of Ukraine, in violation of international law and basic human decency. Russian crimes in Ukraine constitute genocide and ethnic cleansing, with Russia’s stated war aims including the elimination of Ukrainians as a separate country, language, culture, and people.
At least 2,500 of the thousands of Ukrainian children kidnapped by Russia have been sent to Belarus, where many of them were forced to undergo “reeducation” and military training efforts directed by Belarusian security forces. The kidnapping of children and attempted erasure of their cultural identity constitutes an act of genocide, a crime against humanity.
Overview
Britain’s new Foreign Secretary (and former prime minister) Cameron reiterated continued British and Western support for Ukraine during a visit to Kyiv.
The European Union proposed its 12th sanctions package against Russia and notable Russian individuals, including the relatives of current and former Russian leaders.
President Zelenskyy indicated that the Gaza War has impacted Ukraine’s ability to procure artillery shells, though this has likely not proven to be a major barrier and shipments have continued apace.
