It is noted that the Commission spent 10 days in Ukraine. The specialists visited Kyiv, Bucha, Irpin, Kharkiv and Sumy.
“In Bucha and Irpin, the Commission received information about the arbitrary killing of civilians, destruction and looting of property, as well as attacks on civilian infrastructure, including schools. In Kharkiv and Sumy region, the Commission observed the destruction of large urban areas, allegedly as a consequence of aerial bombings, shelling, or missile strikes against civilian targets.”
The United Nations has said it would continue to gather evidence of sexual violence, violations of the rights of children and pensioners, and other vulnerable groups.
Particular attention will be paid to cases of deportation of children and their illegal adoption in Russia.
“It considers it necessary to investigate further reports about the alleged transfer of children placed in institutions in the temporary occupied territories of the Russian Federation as well as information about expedited citizenship and adoption processes for some of these children.”
