"The difference is huge": in the United States told about the response of the Russian Federation and Ukraine on charges of war crimes

According to Washington, war crimes were recorded in all regions of Ukraine, where the Russian military visited. The Ambassador of Special Propasions for Global Criminal Justice of the US State Department Bet Van Shak said that both parties of the Russian-Ukrainian war should investigate the war crimes of their citizens. She also noted that the scale of crime in the Russian army is much higher than in the Armed Forces.

This is stated in a briefing published on the official website of the US Government. According to Beth Van Shak, Russian servicemen demonstrated "absolute crime. " The ambassador mentioned that in the RF, they tend to deny the involvement of their army in war crimes in the territory of Ukraine. Beth Van Shak said that any accusations of the Kremlin respond to propaganda and misinformation. In turn, the Ukrainian side demonstrates a willingness to investigate such cases.

"We see a really huge difference when it comes to reaction to such accusations," Van Shak notes. The ambassador emphasized that, having invaded Ukraine, the Russian Federation violated the UN Statute. In addition, the department emphasized the systemic nature of war crimes of Russian servicemen in all territories where they had to be stationed.

The publication also states that the Prosecutor General's Office of Ukraine has already found several thousand incidents that can be identified as war crimes. In addition, the Ukrainian side is not able to investigate the offenses of the Russian military in the occupied territories. We will remind that Spain sent a delegation of police officers to the investigation of crimes of servicemen of the Russian Federation in Ukraine.
