The Prosecutor General’s Office of Ukraine announced that it had received more than 7,000 reports of Russian war crimes in the Kiev region.
Ukrainian Prosecutor General Irina Venediktova said most of the victims were in Borodyanka, northwest of Kiev, according to the UNIAN news agency.
The attorney general’s office is already investigating war crimes in Irpin, Bukha and Wortsel, he added.
Ukraine and Western governments allege that Russian troops committed massacres of civilians.
Moscow denies that its forces killed civilians and calls the images of the bodies of civilians, which have caused an international outcry, “directed”.
For his part, Ukrainian Interior Minister Denis Monastirsky pledged to conduct a rapid independent investigation and documentation of the atrocities in the city of Butsa.
“Once the bridges blown up by the Russians during their departure are repaired, the specialists will have access,” he told the German newspaper Tagesspiegel.
The International Committee of the Red Cross is participating in the gathering of evidence, the minister assured, adding that international experts will soon be involved in the investigations.
