Evidence of Russian atrocities against both military and civilian targets has been found by a group of United Nations investigators.
There are bags with dead bodies in the recently retaken area of Izium. The photo was taken by Evgeniy Maloletka.
The head of the UN's Independent International Commission of Inquiry on Ukraine told the UN Human Rights Council investigators that war crimes were committed.
The transport of some prisoners to Russia where they were beaten, shocked and forced nudity was documented by investigators.
Mse said investigators were struck by the large number of executions in the areas that they visited.
There were many bodies in those towns that had visible signs of executions, such as hands tied behind the back, gunshot wounds to the head and slit throats.
There is evidence of sexual and gender-based violence in some of the victims.
Russian attacks do not seem to differentiate between military and civilian targets according to investigators.
According to Mse, the Commission documented cases in which children have been raped, tortured, and imprisoned. Children have been killed and injured with bombs.
There are at least two instances of ill-treatment of Russian troops by the Ukrainians.
More than 30,000 cases of atrocities have been documented by the Ukrainian government, which has been found by groups like Human Rights Watch. The discovery of mass graves containing hundreds of bodies in a forest near Izium, a key city in the Kharkiv region, has increased attention on Russian war crimes. Russia plans to vastly increase the scale of the conflict. Russian President Vladimir Putin said Wednesday that he is calling up 300,000 reserve soldiers to serve as reinforcements in Ukraine, and warned those who are trying to blackmail him with nuclear weapons that the wind can turn in their favor.
Thirty bodies that had signs of torture were recovered from the Izium mass burial site.
Putin hired 300,000 Reservists to fight in Ukranian as he supported referendums in Russian territories.
The top prosecutor in the country says they are investigating over 30,000 war crimes.
There is compelling evidence of Russian war crimes.
