The United Nations is currently considering creating an ad hoc court for war crimes committed in Ukraine but the UK has already started training Ukrainian judges to carry out war crimes trials for Russian soldiers. Victoria Prentis MP is the Attorney-General for England and Wales. She told Newsday: “What is so extraordinary about this conflict is that trials are already taking place. The Ukrainians have already convicted 14 Russian soldiers of war crimes…they’ve got 226 suspects identified, many of whom are in custody and there are 49,000 cases of war crimes already registered for investigation…We believe that these prosecutions, carried out fairly and locally send a clear message to Russian soldiers and commanders on the ground that they will be held accountable for their actions.” (Picture: Shows Russian Sergeant Vadim Shishimarin (2ndR) during his trial on charges of war crimes for having killed a 62-year-old civilian in the early stages of Moscow's invasion of Ukraine at the Court of Appeal in Kyiv, on May 20th 2022.
