Ukraine’s prosecutor general says her team has documented 5,600 cases of war crimes perpetrated by the Russian government and its leading figures.
Speaking to British broadcaster Sky News on Sunday, Iryna Venediktova said Ukraine has identified 500 suspects, including “top” Russian military personnel, politicians and “propaganda agents.”
She added that Russian President Vladimir Putin was a “main war criminal of the 21st century,” but in accordance with international law, as long as the Russian president is in power, he enjoys diplomatic immunity and cannot be prosecuted unless the initiative is taken by the International Criminal Court.
