Military Police in Ukraine to Investigate War Crimes

Several dozen Dutch military police are traveling to Ukraine to investigate war crimes. After reporting to ANP news agency, sources confirmed that the cabinet will agree with the decision tomorrow at the cabinet.

Rapid gathering of evidence is of great importance to establish that war crimes have been committed. During the investigation into the MH17 disaster in 2014, the Netherlands gained the necessary forensic knowledge in this area.

Earlier this month, Ukrainian Attorney General Iryna Venicetova, who led the investigation, said there are about 6,000 places in the country where war crimes have been committed or discovered. Another Ukrainian researcher estimated that 20,000 crimes may be investigated in the near future.
