Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office written question – answered at on 26 January 2023.
To ask His Majesty's Government whether they have made any assessment of the recent destruction of buildings and targeting of civilians in Ukraine by Russian forces; and what steps they are taking, if any, in response to these actions based on the UK's statutory obligations concerning alleged instances of war crimes.
We condemn Russia's inhumane assault against Ukraine's civilian population and infrastructure. Intentionally directing attacks against civilians constitutes war crimes. We will continue to support the investigations, by the International Criminal Court and the Ukrainian authorities, of allegations of war crimes committed in Ukraine. The Metropolitan Police will also investigate such allegations when they fall under UK jurisdiction and are already gathering evidence on atrocities in Ukraine in support of the ICC investigation.
