Since Russia invaded Ukraine in February, around 15,000 suspected war crimes have been reported. The laws of war prohibit wilful killing, rape and other sexual violence, torture and inhuman treatment of captured combatants and civilians in custody.
Anyone who orders, or commits these acts is responsible for war crimes.
Prosecution for some of these acts have already happened, with two Russian soldiers jailed in Ukraine recently for shelling civilian areas. But the war crimes against Ukrainians continue.
Last month, foreign affairs correspondent Anthony Galloway and Wakley Award winning photographer Kate Geraghty travelled to Ukraine to cover the crimes being committed in that country.
Today in a special edition of Please Explain, Anthony reports on what he saw, and introduces us to some victims of war crimes he and Kate met in Ukraine. Subscribe to The Age & SMH: https://subscribe.smh.com.au/ See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information. |
