Ukraine’s Prosecutor General Irina Benedictova said in an interview with Sky News on the 10th that at least 5,600 war crimes were suspected and the identities of 500 suspected war crimes had been identified.

Prosecutor General Benedictova has called Russian President Vladimir Putin a major war criminal of the 21st century.

However, he said, under international law, he is somewhat immune from prosecution as long as he remains president of Russia. However, the situation is different when the International Criminal Court (ICC) decides to prosecute.

As for the attack on the Kramatorsk train station, he said, “Of course, it is a war crime. It was a Russian missile that took the lives of more than 50 people,” he said. “There is evidence.”

He said southern Mariupol had been bombed for weeks, destroying 90% of civilian infrastructure.

“The night before, eastern provinces, including Harikiu, were attacked, and so far, 1,222 people have been killed in Kiiu alone,” he added.
