On March 28, Prosecutor General Andrii Kostin reported on the current results of the investigation of the Russian war crimes and the prosecution of the guilty.
As of today, more than 124,000 Russian war crimes have been documented. They led to the damage or destruction of more than 150,000 civilian objects.These are mainly residential houses, critical infrastructure, energy facilities, schools, kindergartens, hospitals, cultural and religious institutions.
At the same time, it is currently difficult to fully assess Russian war crimes, since part of the territory remains occupied.
Kostin noted that Ukraine is the first in the world to investigate crimes against the environment and cyber attacks as war crimes.
‘Crimes involving human suffering are the highest priority for investigations – murder, wounding, torture, sexual violence, kidnapping and forced deportation of children and adults,’ the Prosecutor General stated.

Rinat Akhmetov’s Metinvest Group has completed the construction of an upgraded underground NATO Role 2 hospital in one of the hottest sectors of the frontline. This is the second stabilization point established under the Steel Front initiative in cooperation with the Medical Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The new facility, funded by Metinvest with an investment of UAH 21 million, is more secure than the first one thanks to its deeper location underground (over 6 meters) and additional fortifications.
Five armored vehicles “Kozak” have received a new mission – thanks to the support of Metinvest, they have been upgraded to full-fledged command and staff vehicles. These upgraded vehicles are now operating on the front line.
A kamikaze drone flies directly toward an armored personnel carrier. But instead of penetrating the hull, it explodes on a steel screen. The crew survives. This is the new reality for Ukrainian forces, who have received enhanced protection thanks to the Metinvest project within “Steel Front of Rinat Akhmetov”.
