The figure provided in a new UN report is, unfortunately, likely to be much higher, both because of areas still under occupation, and because the Russians also carried out on-the-spot summary executions

On 26 June 1987, the UN Convention Against Torture (and other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment) came into effect. At present, 173 States, including Ukraine and Russia, have signed and ratified the Convention.

While the rest of Ukraine celebrated Crimean Tatar National Flag Day, the Russian occupation regime came up with preposterous charges against two Crimean Tatars simply for flying the flag on their cars

Almost five years after a horrific acid attack on Kateryna Handziuk, a first-instance court in Kyiv has sentenced Vladyslav Manher to 10 years on a charge of commissioning the crime

There are serious discrepancies in Russia’s claim that 16-year-old Tihran Ohannisian and Mykyta Khanhanov were killed ‘in a shootout’

Yet another ‘trial’ with predetermined outcome has begun with five Ukrainians accused by the Russian aggressor state of ‘international terrorism’ and facing sentences of up to life imprisonment

A Russian court has sentenced former Ukrainian soldier Denys Muryha to 16 years’ imprisonment on extraordinarily cynical charges

Emir-Usein Kuku, a recognized prisoner of conscience, has faced serious kidney problems since an attempted Russian abduction turned into ‘arrest’ after a crowd thwarted the FSB’s plans

The sentences were largely based on a denunciation from Oleksandr Pirogov, 8 years after he played a similar role in the trial of Oleh Sentsov and Oleksandr Kolchenko

The ‘trial’ is underway at the court Russia uses for political trials of Ukrainian citizens of Hryhory Sinchenko who almost died from the torture he was subjected to by Russia’s proxy ‘Donetsk republic’

This is the worst sentence to date against a Crimean Tatar political prisoner and comes as Russia is increasingly releasing men convicted of real crimes, if they agree to fight in Ukraine

Vladimir Putin’s new attempt to call Ukraine’s President a “disgrace to the Jewish people” has been dismissed, like all his efforts since 2014 to justify Russia's aggression against Ukraine

Moscow has made no attempt to concoct charges that do not violate both Russian and international law, nor to conceal the emaciated state of men held in Russian captivity

A 54-year-old woman from Sevastopol is just the latest of many Ukrainians forced to ‘repent’ on camera for saying ‘Glory to Ukraine’, flying the Ukrainian flag, correctly reporting Russia’s killing of civilians, etc

Yaroslav Zhuk is one of an increasing number of Ukrainians whom the Russian invaders abducted and tortured in order to fabricate extraordinarily cynical charges of 'international terrorism'

It is hard to believe that any number of deaths or level of environmental damage would prove an obstacle given the likelihood that Russia deliberately blew up the Kakhovka Dam, and is destroying other dams to obstruct Ukraine's counter-offensive

Although the charges were initially over Russia’s lies about supposed ‘genocide’ as excuse for its full-scale invasion, there are serious grounds for accusing Russia of waging a genocidal war against Ukraine
