The systematic nature of these crimes indicates that the aggressor is persecuting Ukrainians due to their national identity, the prosecutor general said.
“Ukraine has two main goals: to stop Russian aggression and to put an end to Russia’s impunity for international crimes,” Kostin stressed.
“The Kremlin regime poses a threat to the whole world. Therefore, it must act together and coordinate to bring the regime’s leaders and their accomplices to justice for all the evil they have committed.”
