There is mounting evidence of war crimes and crimes against humanity committed during Russia's illegal invasion of Ukraine. We remain committed to ensuring that all parties are held to account for their actions. Investigators from the International Criminal Court and the Office of the Prosecutor General of Ukraine are investigating all allegations of war crimes and crimes against humanity. The UK is supporting both independent investigations, financially and through capacity building programmes. The UK, the US and the EU established the Atrocity Crimes Advisory Group to provide practical and financial support to the War Crimes Unit of the Office of the Prosecutor General of Ukraine.
