Summary
This report describes war crimes in the meaning of international law
committed in eastern and southern Ukraine by soldiers and officials of
the Russian Federation and by the pro-Russian separatist fighters. The
crimes documented herein include unlawful deprivation of freedom,
physical and mental tortures, robbery and murders.
Chapters 1 through 3 are of an introductory nature. They describe the
methodology used by the authors of the report and present the
circumstances in which the subsequently detailed crimes were committed.
The locations and types of the crimes that were committed as well as
their perpetrators are described in chapter 4. The authors discuss only
those crimes they were told about by the victims thereof during the
field research. More than 60 interviews were gathered in the course of
collecting the materials for this report. Each action described in
chapter 4 is confirmed by a quote from the testimony of one or more
victims.
Chapter 4 is divided into subchapters that correspond to each
of the venues where war crimes have been committed,
as identified by the authors of the report. Most of those venues are in
eastern Ukraine, one in Crimea and one in the territory of the Russian
Federation, where the Russian army brought Ukrainian prisoners of war.
Chapter 5 is a catalogue of perpetrators of the crimes who were
mentioned in the testimonies of the victims, including a short overview
and references to the description of the venues where the crimes were
being committed, and pictures.
The victims are not mentioned by name but by an assigned "C" (case)
code names and numbers. Any personal data that could be used to
identify the victims indirectly such as, for example, pictures, have
been included only if a specific victim agreed to the disclosure of his
or her identity and spoke freely in the media.
Based on the documentary evidence described in the report a
communication will be submitted to the International Criminal Court in
The Hague.
This report is the result of examinations conducted by a group of
volunteers volunteers commissionned by a Member of the Polish
Parliament, Matgorzata Gosiewska.
