Speaking to Britain’s Sky News on Sunday, Iryna Venediktova said Ukraine had identified 500 suspects, including “top” Russian military personnel, politicians and “propaganda agents”.
He added that Vladimir Putin was a “major war criminal of the 21st century”, but under international law, as long as the Russian president is in power, he enjoys diplomatic immunity and cannot be prosecuted unless the International Criminal Court takes the initiative. .

Hunt described the security situation in Mariupol as “dangerous”, with humanitarian workers having to go through several checkpoints to reach the city without any guarantees for their safety.
Venediktova described the rocket attack on a train station in Kramatorsk, in eastern Ukraine, as “absolutely” a war crime on Friday, killing at least 52 people and wounding more than 100 others as civilians were evacuated from the city in the Donetsk region.

Aggression is not limited to Ukraine, says Zelensky
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said late Saturday that democracies were working together to stop the Russian invasion, which began on February 24, as civilians continued to leave the eastern part of the country ahead of an expected attack. In his daily speech to the Ukrainians late at night, Zelensky said that “Russian aggression was not intended to be limited to Ukraine” and that “the whole European plan is Russia’s goal.” Several European leaders have made efforts to show solidarity with the war-torn nation. Zelensky thanked the leaders of Britain and Austria for their visits Saturday in Kyiv, the capital of Ukraine, and pledged further support. The visit of British Prime Minister Boris Johnson came a day after the United Kingdom pledged an additional $ 163 million in high-quality military equipment. Johnson also confirmed further financial support, pledging an additional $ 628.3 million in World Bank lending to Ukraine, raising Britain’s total loan guarantee to $ 1.25 billion. Zelensky also thanked European Commission President and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trinto for a global fundraising event that brought in more than $ 13.6 billion Cdn for Ukrainians who have fled their homes. The Ukrainian leader reiterated his call for a full embargo on Russian oil and gas, which he called sources of “Russia’s confidence and impunity.” “Freedom has no time to wait,” Zelensky said. “Once the tyranny begins its aggression against anything that keeps peace in Europe, action must be taken immediately.”
Russia has released images of attack helicopters
Russia’s Defense Ministry, meanwhile, released footage of attack helicopters on Sunday, saying its forces had destroyed a convoy of Ukrainian armored vehicles and anti-aircraft warfare.
“The Ka-52. Attack helicopters destroyed weapons and military equipment of the Ukrainian armed forces,” the ministry said in a statement. Ukrainian military officials were not immediately available for comment and the location and timing of the unverified attack were not immediately clear.

More than six weeks after the invasion, Russia has withdrawn its troops from the northern part of the country, around Kyiv, and has refocused on the Donbas region in the east. Western military analysts say an arc of land in eastern Ukraine was under Russian control, from Kharkiv – Ukraine’s second largest city – in the north to Kherson in the south.
However, counterattacks threaten Russian control of the Kherson, according to Western estimates, and Ukrainian forces repel Russian attacks elsewhere in Donbas, a predominantly Russian-speaking and industrial area.

Ukrainian authorities have called on civilians in eastern Ukraine to come out in the face of an impending, intensifying attack by Russian forces. With trains not running out of Kramatorsk on Saturday, panicked residents boarded buses or looked for other ways to leave, fearing the kind of relentless attacks and squatting by Russian invaders that brought food shortages, demolition and demolition.
“It was scary. Horror, horror,” a resident told Britain’s Sky television network, recalling Friday’s attack on the Kramatorsk train station. “Paradise, to live it again. No, I do not want to.”
The Ukrainian state railway company said residents of Kramatorsk and other Donbas districts could leave other railway stations.

A new top general has been appointed, says a US official
Russia has appointed a new warlord in Ukraine as the country prepares for a more focused attack on Donbass, a U.S. official said Sunday.
Moscow has turned to General Alexander Dvornikov, 60, one of Russia’s most experienced military officers and – according to US officials – a general with a history of atrocities against civilians in Syria and other war theaters.
The senior official who identified the new commander had no authority to identify himself and spoke on condition of anonymity.

Despite the decision to establish a new leadership on the battlefield, Western assessments have expressed confidence in the ability of Ukraine’s defenders to repel Russian attacks, depicting Russian troops suffering low morale and increasing casualties.
The British Ministry of Defense said on Sunday that the Russian army is seeking to respond to the growing casualties by increasing the number of troops with personnel who have been discharged from military service since 2012.
The United Kingdom is speculating on the withdrawal of Moldovan separatists
In a Twitter post, the British Ministry of Defense also said that the Russian army’s efforts to “create more combat force” also include the effort to recruit from the Transnistrian, a breakaway region in Moldova bordering Ukraine.
The Russian-backed separatists in eastern Moldova took up arms in 1992 to establish the Transnistrian, which is not internationally recognized and where Russia has about 1,500 troops.
The illegal and unprovoked invasion of Ukraine continues.
