Under the leadership of Father Patrick Desbois, the Babyn Yar Holocaust Memorial Center and the Yahad-In Unum organization have launched an investigation into the war crimes of the Russian Federation committed in Ukraine, the press service of the Memorial Center reports.

It is noted that this initiative was launched with the aim of identifying and fixing the horrendous mass crimes committed day by day against the civilian Ukrainian population in Mariupol, Kharkiv, Mykolaiv and throughout Ukraine.

"Almost 20 years ago, my organization Yahad-In Unum and I began to investigate the crimes of the 'Holocaust by bullets' committed in Ukraine and then in other countries, in every village occupied by Nazi units. We developed a special methodology and interviewed more than 8,000 witnesses of the 'Holocaust by bullet's. I never thought that in 2022 I would again have to investigate war crimes in these most suffering lands," chairman of the Academic Council of the Babyn Yar Holocaust Memorial Center, president and founder of Yahad-in Unum Father Patrick Desbois said.

The Holocaust Memorial Babyn Yar and Yahad-In Unum decided to collect as many video evidence of the victims of Russia's crimes as possible. This testimony will be presented to the International Criminal Court, as well as the leadership of countries such as Germany, which have already launched an investigation.

"Everyone knows that an eyewitness is the key to justice in countering objections from Putin and his aides. The voices of the witnesses must be preserved in order to counter the crimes committed by the Russians," Father Patrick Desbois said.
