More than 70,000 criminal proceedings have been initiated by the police on the basis of the facts of the Russian occupiers committing bloody crimes against Ukrainians on the territory of Ukraine. Justice over the leadership of the Russian Federation and the Russian military executing criminal orders is one of the main tasks of Ukraine together with international partners.
In the system of law enforcement agencies, the Ministry of Internal Affairs actively develops cooperation with the competent institutions of the EU member states to investigate Russian war crimes against the people of Ukraine. On a daily basis, partners with the EU not only contribute to the consolidation of efforts in the international arena for the fair punishment of the aggressor country, but also help investigators to record the crimes of aggression, provide practical and advisory assistance, and modern DNA laboratories transferred by international partners are already helping crime experts today Minalists to identify victims of Russian crimes.
Effective interaction with colleagues in Europol has been established. Since April 2022, a single platform for the collection, storage and analytical processing of operational data on war crimes operates on the basis of the Europol Analytical Project on the Investigation of Major International Crimes.
The police do not stop carefully recording every crime of the aggressor and collect the evidence base for investigation so that the guilty cannot escape punishment, and the civilized world in the future never witnesses such tragedies. The terrorist country will necessarily bear responsibility for all atrocities committed in Ukraine.
In order to create and ensure safe living conditions for all Ukrainians, even in wartime, the bodies of the Ministry of Internal Affairs system transform and carry out their operational activities in accordance with European standards. In this we always receive help and support from the European Union. We implement reforms and make changes together with our European colleagues!
