US Response to Allegations of War Crimes in Ukraine
The US has taken a proactive approach in addressing war crimes in Ukraine, including creating a special team to investigate and prosecute potential Russian war crimes. This effort was highlighted by the prosecution of four Russian soldiers accused of torturing and abducting an American citizen in southern Ukraine. The US's jurisdiction to intervene in such cases is based on US law, which grants the Justice Department the authority to prosecute when an American citizen is involved.
