Acting Prosecutor General Anton Kovalskyi met representatives of the Independent International Commission of Inquiry on Ukraine, led by Erik Møse.
According to the Prosecutor General’s Office website, the officials discussed documenting Russia’s international crimes and strengthening co-operation to bring those responsible to justice.
Particular attention at the meeting was paid to crimes against Ukrainian children, including deportation, illegal adoption, the imposition of Russian citizenship, and attempts to erase Ukrainian identity. They also separately discussed the problem of Russian special services recruiting minors online to carry out sabotage and gather information.
Other topics in the talks included Russian attacks on evacuation teams and humanitarian personnel, including UN staff and the International Committee of the Red Cross; the recruitment of foreigners to fight against Ukraine; and the artificial alteration of the demographic make-up in temporarily occupied territories, where Russia is forcibly driving Ukrainians out, blocking their return, seizing housing, and settling its own citizens there.
Following the meeting, the parties agreed to continue exchanging information, evidence, and data on individuals implicated in the crimes.
