Russian war crimes so numerous  investigators had to limit probe’s scope

STORY BY STEPHEN J. THORNE

War crimes investigators in Ukraine say violations of international laws and conventions by invading Russian soldiers are so grievous and widespread that they have had to limit their focus to only the worst cases.

Investigators from the non-governmental organization Truth Hounds have been documenting war crimes in the country since 2014, when Moscow annexed the Crimean Peninsula and non-uniformed Russian troops began fighting alongside Russian-speaking separatists in the Donbas region of eastern Ukraine.

Celebrate the Month of the Military Child

Leave a reply

A reminder from one of our fellow veterans organizations in the Bay Area.

Help America’s littlest heroes.
SUPPORT MILITARY CHILDREN - Help us raise $75,000 by 4/30! - GIVE NOW - MARINES' MEMORIAL ASSOCIATION & FOUNDATION
April is the Month of the Military Child, when we recognize the sacrifices made by America’s littlest heroes.
Because you respect our men and women in uniform, you understand the challenges these children face. Their military parent is often absent on long deployments. They can move every few years, changing schools and making new friends each time. Some face the anguish of having their dad or mom injured in the line of duty—or worse.
Michael Barbour, as a patriot, you know it’s important to be there for our military children and families. That is why I am asking you to help us raise $75,000 by April 30. Your gift today will provide college scholarships, educate the next generation about national security issues, and much more.
Thank you for caring about America’s youngest heroes.
GIVE NOW
Sincerely,
Michael A. Rocco Signature
