BOTH sides in the Ukrainian conflict may be guilty of war crimes, according to a report from a UN-backed inquiry released today.
Russian attacks against civilians in Ukraine, including systematic torture and killing in occupied regions, amount to war crimes, according to the UN Human Rights Council and added that Russian forces may also be guilty of crimes against humanity.
The report was released a year to the day after a Russian air strike on a theatre in Mariupol killed hundreds sheltering inside.
