Quote: "A year ago, the Ukrainian Armed Forces liberated Bucha. That was the first time we all saw evidence of the unprecedented scale of the enemy's atrocities.

During the 33 days of occupation, more than 9,000 war crimes were committed in Bucha district. Horrifying figures...

More than 270 crimes per day. More than 1,400 civilians were killed. Many of them were tortured. Among the killed are 37 children. Another 52 children were injured."

Details: According to Kostin, over a year, the prosecutor's office has issued a notice of suspicion to almost a hundred Russian military officers. Indictments against 35 people have been sent to court.

Among them is a colonel general, commander of the Central Military District of the Russian Federation, who directly led the occupation of Sumy, Chernihiv and Kyiv oblasts. Two Russian servicemen were sentenced to 12 years in prison for unlawful imprisonment of civilians and looting.

The Prosecutor General stated that law enforcement will not stop until all organisers and perpetrators of war crimes are sentenced.
