After more than 100 days of war, Russian authorities continue to deny that the country’s forces have committed any war crimes in Ukraine.

But this is disputed by independent Ukrainian investigators, such as Oleksandra Matviichuk, a human rights lawyer.

Since the Russian invasion began on 24 February, Matviichuk – along with a team of volunteers, lawyers and paralegals – has been recording war crimes and crimes against humanity committed by the Russian army in Ukraine.
