**Ukraine Pursues Justice for 170,000 War Crimes**
Since Russia’s full-scale invasion in February 2022, Ukraine has launched nearly 170,000 investigations into war crimes and national security violations. This effort shows Ukraine’s commitment to ensuring justice for victims and holding Russian leaders accountable.
**Most Cases Address War Law Violations**
Over 143,900 of these cases deal with violations of war laws, including attacks on civilians, mistreatment of prisoners, and the use of banned weapons. Some cases also involve collaboration (8,900), treason (3,700), and crimes against Ukraine’s territorial integrity (3,200).
**Russian Officials Named as Suspects**
Ukrainian authorities have named over 700 Russian officials as suspects. This includes targeting Russia’s military and political leadership for accountability. The International Criminal Court has also issued multiple arrest warrants for Russian leaders, including President Vladimir Putin.
**Preparing for a Tribunal**
A special center in The Hague began gathering evidence in July 2023 to prepare for a tribunal to prosecute Russian aggression.
