To date, the SBU is investigating about 43,000 cases under Article 438 - violation of laws and customs of war. And we do not just record these crimes. And we carry out all the necessary procedural actions within the framework of Ukrainian legislation. So that sooner or later all Russian criminals are brought to justice," Malyuk said.

A total of 95 criminal proceedings have been sent to court against 142 people from Russia's military and political leadership, of whom 22 have already been convicted," the statement said.
