ICC prosecutor visits war-torn Kharkiv
Chief prosecutor for the International Criminal Court (ICC) Karim Khan visited Kharkiv with Ukrainian Prosecutor General Iryna Venediktova to document evidence of war crimes. During his visit Khan called the city a “crime scene,” and toured areas hardest hit by Russian bombing. “We must make sure that the whole world sees that the law works,” Khan said, promising to prosecute war criminals. Venediktova praised Khan for his visit, saying, “Prosecutors are working even under fire gathering evidence for [Ukrainian and international] courts.” Venediktova reports that 760 civilians have been killed, over 1,000 injured, and 4,000 buildings destroyed in Kharkiv oblast due to Russian shelling.
