There have been 50,000 alleged war crimes in Ukraine. We worked to solve one
When I first heard about the dead man in the street, I didn't know his name.
It was just a story, about a possible war crime, committed in the first days of the Russian invasion into Ukraine. The victim was a Ukrainian man, allegedly murdered by Russian soldiers and left dead in the street next to his blown-up car, near a place called Nova Basan.
At first the story about this man stood out because it was different. He'd apparently been a member of the French Foreign Legion at some point. And perhaps, I'd thought, that could mean clues and investigations — maybe even consequences — far beyond the tiny village where he died, 50 miles northeast of Kyiv.
But as I spoke with investigators and human rights advocates about this case and many others, I came to see, as they have, just how elusive justice could be for any of the 50,000 alleged war crimes in Ukraine.

50,000 war crimes. That's 50,000 people who have had life brutally stolen from them by the crazed genocidal butchers in the Kremlin. Then there's the military defenders and other civilian lives Pooty and his goons snuffed out. There MUST be war crime tribunals for all Russian criminals.
