It is reported that the Russian soldiers committed more than 270 crimes every day. Over 1400 civilians were killed, including 37 children. Another 52 children were injured.

According to Prosecutor General Andriy Kostin, over the year, prosecutors have notified almost a hundred Russian military personnel of suspicion. Indictments against 35 people have been sent to court, including a colonel general, commander of the Central Military District of the Russian Federation, who directly led the seizure of Sumy, Chernihiv and Kyiv regions.

In addition, the agency noted that two Russian servicemen were sentenced to 12 years in prison for illegal imprisonment of civilians and looting.

"We will not stop until all organizers and perpetrators of war crimes are sentenced. Today, we are holding another round of discussions with international partners on the development of a network of comprehensive accountability for international crimes," the Prosecutor General emphasized.
