The Ukrainian Ministry of Defense revealed a new massacre in the recovered territories. “Every day we discover monstrous war crimes,” the authorities said.

“As Ukrainian rescuers advance in the territory liberated from the Russian occupiers, new and monstrous war crimes are discovered. The city of Makariv, in the Kiev region, is half ruined. 132 tormented bodies of tortured and murdered citizens have already been found,” the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense reported.

The news about Makariv is alarmingly reminiscent of Bucha, the city where last week the horror of Russian occupations was uncovered with dozens of corpses lying in the streets and sinnets buried in mass graves.

To document Russian atrocities, the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry today announced the creation of an online archive to document war crimes committed by Russia in Ukraine with evidence, it added, that will help its perpetrators not escape justice.

“We thoroughly document every atrocity, every crime. We have created a special online archive of these crimes so that the world knows the truth and to hold Russians accountable for every drop of Ukrainian blood they shed,” Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba said in a statement. in Ukraine,” he said.

“We will punish Russian war criminals for the atrocities they are committing in Ukraine, not only the executors, but also the commanders who gave the orders and the entire political-military leadership of the Russian Federation,” he said.

He added that thousands of Ukrainians have been killed, tortured and killed by Russian soldiers, that civilians have been executed with their hands tied behind their backs in the streets of Bucha, and that women and children have been raped and killed.

The Russian army has bombed maternity hospitals, schools, nurseries and humanitarian corridors and that people have been forcibly deported to Russia, he added.

The war crimes committed by the Russian army in Ukraine since the beginning of the invasion on 24 February in this archive are divided into seven categories: murder of innocents, attacks on civilians or civilian infrastructure, destruction of population centers, hostages and torture, illegal deportation, attacks on religion and culture, and rape.

The statement adds that the portal “immerses visitors in the horrible atmosphere of this war” to “experience only a fraction of how Ukrainians have been forced to live for more than six weeks”, to “hear the sounds of anti-aircraft sirens, warplanes and missile strikes” and to “read the terrible testimonies of survivors”.

The archive, which is already available via the link https://war.ukraine.ua/russia-war-crimes, will be constantly updated by the ministry in cooperation with Ukrainian law enforcement agencies, international organizations and monitoring missions.
