To date, more than 80,000 war crimes committed by the Russian Federation in Ukraine have been recorded.
Such data were made public by Prosecutor General Andriy Kostin at the open hearings of the Committee of the European Parliament's Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs, Ukrinform reports with reference to the Facebook page of the Prosecutor General's Office.
"To date, more than 80,000 war crimes committed by the Russian Federation in Ukraine have been recorded. More than 10,000 civilians have been killed, more than 13,000 have been injured, and more than 98,000 civilian infrastructure objects have been damaged or destroyed," Kostin said.
According to him, compensation for damages and destruction caused by Russia will remain one of Ukraine's priorities. The World Bank estimates the reconstruction and recovery needs at $411 billion, the Prosecutor General added.
"We hope for the EU's support in creating the register of damages and further cooperation in the search and seizure of assets related to the financing of aggression," Kostin said.
He praised the strong position, support, and practical steps taken to establish the International Centre for the Prosecution of the Crime of Aggression (ICPA) which will collect and coordinate information and evidence against the leaders responsible for planning, preparing, starting or waging this war of aggression for future trials.
ICPA is expected to start working in late June this year (based at Eurojust). "We are grateful to all states and partners who expressed their willingness to send experts and prosecutors to the ICPA," Kostin emphasized.
