**Investigating Russian Atrocities in Ukraine**
A team of investigative journalists at the Kyiv Independent is working to uncover war crimes committed by Russia during its invasion of Ukraine. They are looking into various aspects of these crimes, including:
* **Abduction and killing of Ukrainian children**: The investigators are examining reports of Russian forces taking Ukrainian children away from their families.
* **Torture of Ukrainian prisoners of war**: The team is investigating allegations that guards at a Russian-controlled prison camp have been torturing Ukrainian prisoners.
* **Genocide in Ukraine**: The journalists are looking into the possibility that Russia may be committing genocide in Ukraine, which is considered the crime of crimes.
The team has produced two documentaries: “Destroy, in Whole or in Part,” which explores the possibility of genocide in Ukraine, and “He Came Back,” which investigates sexual violence as war crimes committed by Russian soldiers.
