The DNA laboratory, transferred by the French side as humanitarian aid, is intended for the prompt resolution of the issue of identification of war victims in the de-occupied territories. The representatives of the National Gendarmerie of the French Republic trained ten Ukrainian experts on the use of materials and equipment of this mobile DNA laboratory.
France sent experts from the Institute for criminal studies of the National Gendarmerie to Ukraine, who collected, preserved and are now analyzing evidence of Russian war crimes against Ukraine. Now the results of the analyzes will be included in the criminal cases opened by Ukraine.
“French experts were among the first to arrive in Ukraine to help document war crimes committed by Russian military personnel on the territory of our country. We are grateful to our French colleagues for their support,” said Deputy Prosecutor General Maksym Yakubovskyi.
