A Ukrainian human rights organisation that monitors anti-LGBT violence across the country has spoken out about the difficulties of tracking suspected war crimes committed by Russian militants.
More than 65,000 war crimes have been reported since Russia's full-scale invasion a year ago, according to Ukraine’s prosecutor general Andriy Kostin, but victims face immense difficulties in obtaining justice.
Oleksandr Zinchenkov, who coordinates a countrywide network of hate crime monitors and provides legal assistance to clients on behalf of the rights organisation Nash Svit (Our World), told openDemocracy he believes anti-LGBT attacks include murders, sexual violence, kidnappings and torture.
