Yulia Chicherina and the Russian soldiers showing off their 'trophy' clearly know that they need fear no consequences for admitting to a war crime. Why would they if Putin has 'honoured' numerous suspected war criminals?

It is possible that the increase in the already horrific and illegal sentence against imprisoned marine Dmytro Yevhan was because he retracted 'confessions' in court, stating that they had been extracted through torture

The methods are truly chilling, with Russia clearing wanting the population of occupied territory to be terrorized into silence and submission

Not only is Putin claiming more Ukrainian territory than Russia is occupying, but school students must repeat these lies or fail their school-leaving exam

Stripped of the aggressor state’s fake coating, the charges brought against Hennadiy Osmak may well pertain solely to his truthful coverage of the legitimate blockade of Russian occupied Crimea

It is likely that both 57-year-old Mykola Zabirko from Mariupol and Iryna Kulish from Zaporizhzhia oblast were abducted and held incommunicado, with Russian methods of 'investigation' typically confined to torture

While good that Ukraine’s legislators have finally passed a law which can help fight impunity for war crimes and crimes against humanity committed since Russia began its aggression, the limitation is frustrating

Oleksandr Korol was seized while Russia was claiming to have nothing to do with the armed conflict in Donbas, yet 7 years on, it charged him with revealing information about Russian military sites

The T4P website now has live statistics on the locations where Ukrainians are being held in Russia and the temporarily occupied territory.

Not only has Russia ‘convicted’ Iryna Horobtsova of legal and legitimate actions in the face of its invasion, but has claimed that these actions were when she had been imprisoned for over ten months

This is the second of two reports in August alone of Russians mutilating the bodies of Ukrainian defenders

Russia has already forcibly mobilized Ukrainians from occupied Donbas, sending many to their death, and is now clearly planning to extend open or covert conscription or mobilization on all occupied territory

We know next to nothing about Tetiana Klochko, but enough about Russia’s methods to assume that any admission to bizarre charges was obtained through torture or other illegal means

Yuriy Sadovsky has grave health problems which will have been exacerbated, if not caused, by the savage torture he endured

Well over 200 hospitals have been totally destroyed in attacks where, in very many cases, Russia must have known what it was bombing

Russia may be trying to suggest that there is some kind of ‘Ukrainian threat’ everywhere, with it hard to imagine how else it can explain the extraordinary ‘trial’ and ‘sentence’ against Oleksiy Yefimenko.

After subjecting Mariupol residents to months of bombing and shelling, the Russian invaders are now either leaving them to try to survive in dangerously damaged buildings, or are reselling the properties they have plundered

According to the head of the OHCHR Monitoring Mission in Ukraine, Russia subjects over 95% of Ukrainian POWs to torture, with such torture "the worst she has seen" in her 20 years of monitoring

Russia’s long-term war against Ukraine and the recent years of full-scale Russian invasion have added to the history of atrocities. Enforced disappearances have become one of the darkest pages of this history. Lists of Ukrainians to be disposed of, children illegally detained in the temporarily occupied territories, and families still searching for their loved ones. 5340 victims. The global initiative T4P (Tribunal for Putin) discussed this during the research presentation on enforced disappearances.

The calls from Vladimir Kara-Murza and Ilya Yashin are, frankly, baffling, and not only, as Nariman Dzhelyal points out, because the sanctions really are hitting the Putin regime
