Investigators from Poland will help investigate possible cases of genocide that occurred during Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine.
This is reported by Polish Radio with reference to the press service of the National Prosecutor's Office, Censor.NET informs.
Polish National Prosecutor Dariusz Barski signed an agreement in Vilnius, according to which the Joint Investigative Team for the Investigation of Serious International Crimes in Ukraine (JIT) will investigate cases of genocide that may occur or have occurred in connection with Russia's attack on Ukraine.
It should be noted that a meeting of the Joint Investigative Group was held in Vilnius on April 13-14. During the meeting, they discussed the current work of the group, especially in the context of data exchange regarding individual investigative events, and the near future prospects of joint activities.
Note that the initial agreement concluded between Ukraine, Poland and Lithuania, and later also with Latvia, Estonia, Slovakia, Romania and the International Criminal Court in The Hague, concerns the investigation and collection of evidence regarding Russia's attack on Ukraine.
The agreement signed in Vilnius expands the scope of the existing agreement to investigate possible cases of genocide that may occur on the territory of Ukraine in connection with Russian aggression.
The cooperation of the JIT member states allows for the coordination of activities related to the collection of evidence of war crimes committed in Ukraine and is aimed at bringing those guilty of crimes to justice.
