Since the beginning of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, law enforcement officers have opened more than 4,200 lawsuits for violations of laws and customs of war.

RBC-Ukraine informs that the Minister of Internal Affairs of Ukraine, Denys Monastyrskyi, reported this information.

He also added that people are cleaning the rubble and inspecting the houses in the cities and towns of the Kyiv region.

"The dead bodies are being pulled out from under the ruins. It will take at least two more weeks to clean the rubble, and this will be only the first stage. Only then will we be able to announce the first number of dead in these municipalities," the minister said.

According to Denys Monastyrskyi, 17 groups of pyrotechnicians of the State Emergency Service of Ukraine are inspecting the territory at the same time when the territory is being cleaned. Over the past day, they found more than 6,500 explosive devices. They are working on demining together with foreign specialists and the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

"We have launched a new initiative: we involve volunteer rescuers who are helping clean the rubble in these cities. In the last 24 hours, we have received more than 5,000 applications from people wanting to help," he said.

Monastyrsky also said that the Russian occupiers left the explosives where they spent the night: "They placed trip wires at the entrances to the houses or property. If they found photos of police officers, rescuers, or the military in the house during the looting process, they always left the mines installed there. The explosives were found under helmets attached to the doors, in the washing machines, and in the cars."
