Ukrainian law enforcement officials have brought suspicions of committing war crimes against 477 Russian military personnel, with 77 of them already having court sentences.

This information was announced by the Prosecutor General Andriy Kostin on Facebook after the participation of the Ukrainian delegation in the fourth meeting of advisers on national security and foreign policy regarding the implementation of the Ukrainian Peace Formula.

According to Kostin, during the panel discussion dedicated to point 7 of the Peace Formula, "Restoring Justice," partners heard testimonies from Ukrainians about war crimes committed by Russian military personnel. The stories included that of a 16-year-old boy whose father was shot by occupiers right before his eyes and a young woman who suffered sexual violence from a Russian serviceman.
