Atrocity crimes have been committed during the Russo-Ukrainian War, chiefly by the Russian Federation and its proxy forces in Ukraine's Donbas region.[1]
Atrocity crimes is a legally defined group of offences against international law, that includes war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide, and is often considered to include the non-legally defined ethnic cleansing.[2] Since the 2014 Russian invasion and annexation of Crimea, the war in Donbas, and the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, numerous atrocity crimes have been identified, and some are being or have been tried in courts.[3][4]
