War crimes, crimes against humanity and evidence of human trafficking. A new report by the Independent International Commission of Inquiry on Ukraine 🇺🇦, mandated by the
@UN_HRC, documents all three.
The Commission concluded that Russia committed war crimes by deliberately attacking civilian objects and crimes against humanity through systematic attacks on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure.
As Estonia 🇪🇪 has consistently said, Russia is using cold and darkness to inflict suffering and break Ukrainians’ resistance.
The Commission also found compelling evidence that Russian authorities trafficked men from 29 countries into their armed forces through deception and coercion. Many were killed or went missing after being sent to the front.
We must strengthen Ukraine’s defences, increase pressure on Russia and hold those responsible accountable.
