Since the beginning of the war, more than 8 thousand criminal proceedings have been opened for violation of the laws and customs of war, - Yevhenii Yenin
This was reported by the First Deputy Minister of Internal Affairs of Ukraine during a briefing in the Ukrinform news agency.
“Since the beginning of the Russian aggression, the investigators of the National Police of Ukraine have launched more than 8,000 criminal proceedings on the facts of crimes committed on the territory of Ukraine by members of the armed forces of the Russian Federation and the Republic of Belarus. 152 people were detained, 192 were declared suspicious,” Yevhenii Yenin said.
The First Deputy Head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs also noted that in order to find the perpetrators and bring them to justice and to properly document war crimes, crimes against humanity committed by the Russian army in Ukraine, employees of the National Police use the latest technologies and modern best practices of well-known world companies, as well as developed by their own by the power of information systems and services.
“With the help of the unique Clearview AI software, we identify Russian servicemen who have been killed or captured, check people at checkpoints and search for missing persons. Although the Russian authorities deny the presence of their military conscripts on the territory of Ukraine and send them without documents, this technology still helps to identify such. To identify a person, the program's algorithm compares their images with snapshots in a database that contains more than 10 billion photos,” he said.
Yevgeny Yenin also added that the functioning of more than 700 checkpoints has been ensured, at which more than 2 thousand police officers are on duty.
“The activities of 123 anti-sabotage groups have been deployed, in which more than a thousand police officers are involved. 86 DRG has already been exposed. Nearly 700 people have been detained,” he said.
Yevgeny Yenin also noted that thanks to the intensified work of the employees of the units of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the holiday weekend in Ukraine passed without provocations.
