Systematic documentation of potential war crimes proceeds even during ongoing conflict. Ukrainian authorities, international organizations, and NGOs collect evidence of alleged violations for future accountability.
Documented incidents include civilian massacres, torture, illegal deportations, and destruction of protected sites. Collected evidence could support future prosecutions in international or domestic courts.
International Criminal Court investigations focus on alleged crimes committed in Ukraine. These proceedings continue regardless of peace negotiation progress.
However, accountability prospects remain uncertain given Russian non-cooperation with international justice mechanisms. Moscow rejects ICC jurisdiction and refuses to surrender accused individuals.
Documentation efforts serve purposes beyond immediate prosecutions. Historical record and truth establishment represent important goals even if legal accountability proves difficult.
