War crimes: Sufficient evidence from Ukraine and none from Russia - ICC prosecutor

Regarding the investigation of war crimes, the International Criminal Court has enough evidence from Ukraine and none from Russia. Voice of America quotes this message from ICC Prosecutor Karim Khan.

 During a visit to Kyiv, ICC prosecutor Karim Khan said that the ICC did not receive any evidence from Russia in its favor for the investigation of war crimes in Ukraine.

 Khan noted that he has evidence from Ukraine, but he "did not receive evidence from the Russians."

 "If you have something, give it. I'm ready to accept it and interact with them, but it takes two to tango," he emphasized.

 The prosecutor inspected the sites where Russian missiles and drones hit infrastructure facilities in Kyiv region.

 According to him, the investigation of war crimes, crimes of genocide and crimes against humanity "committed by either side" can take years. Khan also emphasized that people "must be sure that this is not a political process."

 In May 2022, Karim Khan said that the investigation into war crimes committed by the Russians during the invasion of Ukraine would be the largest investigation in the history of the International Criminal Court in The Hague.

 On February 28, 2023, President Volodymyr Zelenskyi said in a video message that he had a meeting with the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court Khan and stated that "Russia's genocidal policy against our people will definitely have irreversible legal consequences for everyone who conceived, approved and implemented this policy."
