"In general, more than 11,000 criminal proceedings were launched under the" Violation of the Laws and Customs of War ". The majority concerns the facts of the city and Kharkiv region shelling. As far as I know, there are about 40,000 criminal proceedings throughout Ukraine. Of these, 11,000 are in Kharkiv. Therefore, about 25% of all war crimes, we can state that they fall into our area, "Chubenko cites approximate numbers.

When asked by leading marathon about what crimes the invaders in Kharkiv region did, Chubenko listed the facts of theft of property, theft of people, the export of agricultural machinery and products. The speaker also noted the facts of torture, murders and rapes. Investigators study combat documents and conduct surveys of military.

The persons involved in some of the cases, including military servicemen of the Russian Army and PEC's mercenaries, have been informed of suspicion of specific actions. Another group of military officers and mercenaries of the Russian Federation was reported in absentia of suspicion of military crimes. "Some of the suspects made firing of the city of Kharkiv, others participated in tortures in the Borova former ATO participant," Chubenko shared examples.

According to him, there are also suspects who have already received court sentences. In the future, they should serve their sentences, but if they are exchanged for Ukrainian military servicemen, then their further fate is no longer within the competence of the Ukrainian Prosecutor's Office. We will remind, earlier the wife of the President of Ukraine Elena Zelenska pointed to a minimum of 171 cases of rape of Ukrainians.
