More details The United States has formally announced its departure from the International Centre for the Investigation of Russian Crimes against Ukraine, marking a significant shift in international efforts to hold Russia accountable for war crimes. Amid this development, the European Union confirms the US's withdrawal notification to Eurojust. This move comes as Amnesty International reports the execution of at least 109 Ukrainian prisoners by Russian forces in 2024. The unfolding crisis continues with numerous documented war crimes, including torture in Izyum and shootings of Ukrainian POWs. As the Netherlands contributes a mobile laboratory to aid Ukraine in war crime investigations, the global community's response remains vital. Meanwhile, Ukrainian officials, such as Ombudsman Dmytro Lubinets, push for accountability via international platforms like the UN and the ICRC, stressing the severity of Russian atrocities and the systemic policy aimed at destroying Ukrainian identity.
