Civilians have been on the frontline of the war in Ukraine because of Russia’s inhumane strategies to target densely populated residential areas and to assault Ukraine’s energy infrastructure. When they can’t win on the battlefield, they turn to soft targets and terror tactics. Russia’s strategies clearly constitute war crimes, and one day there must be a reckoning for the tens of thousands of crimes Russia is committing in this war.

But right now, across the country, fact-finding teams like Truth Hounds are tirelessly gathering evidence and testimonies of victims about Russian atrocities, often within hours of troops retreating. Turning this evidence into convictions will not be easy, or quick, but must be done.
