Ukraine is currently investigating around 7,600 potential war crimes and 500 suspects following the invasion by Russia on February 24. According to Foreign Secretary Liz Truss, Russia has brought barbarity to Ukraine and committed atrocities, especially against women. Truss mentioned that British expertise will aid in uncovering the truth and holding Putin's regime accountable for their actions. As part of this effort, Truss is traveling to The Hague to meet with International Criminal Court President Judge Piotr Hofmanski and Dutch counterpart Wopke Hoekstra. A specialist team will be assisting the Ukrainian government in gathering evidence and prosecuting war crimes, with a focus on experts in conflict-related sexual violence, as stated by a foreign office announcement. Moscow describes its actions as a "special operation" with the goal of weakening Kyiv's armed forces and safeguarding Russian-speaking residents in the eastern region of the country.
