The UK is providing vital training to a group of 90 Ukrainian judges to help them carry out war crimes trials for Russian soldiers. With each town liberated by the Ukrainian forces, the scale of the atrocities committed by Putin’s forces becomes more evident, and as part of a £2.5 million investment scheme, UK judges will offer their services to make sure those acts do not go unpunished. Attorney General Victoria Prentis said she hoped the live prosecution of Russian soldiers would act as a deterrent to those still fighting that they “must act in accordance with international law”. Sir Howard Morrison, a British judge who is running the training said it was possible “senior Russians” could be brought in front of a tribunal.

The body of a seven-year-old girl, she said, for example, was exhumed with seven different traces of sperm inside her corpse, believed to belong to different Russian men.
Attorney General Victoria Prentis said the training of Ukrainian judges was vital to empowering the nation to prosecute those who perpetrated these vicious crimes while the invasion was still ongoing.
Any means of deterring soldiers currently fighting through Ukraine, occupying civilian areas, was “very important” and must be peddled.
