By KYIV. Nov 8 (Interfax-Ukraine) – Prosecutor General of Ukraine Andriy Kostin on Tuesday, November 8, held an online meeting with Director of Public Prosecutions of the UK Crown Prosecution Service Max Hill.
According to the press service of the Prosecutor General’s Office of Ukraine (PGO), during the meeting, the officials discussed cooperation between Ukrainian and UK prosecutors in the investigation of war crimes.
"It is important for us to support close cooperation with partners, because our goal is justice in line with the highest international standards. We are working to ensure that we do not lose any evidence of the aggressor’s crimes," Kostin said.
According to the PGO, Kostin and Hill also discussed the structure of the work of the PGO in order to determine the most effective mechanism for cooperation between Ukrainian prosecutors and UK colleagues.
The Ukrainian Prosecutor General noted that the atrocities committed by the invaders in Izium, Bucha, Irpin and other cities illustrate a clear policy of persecuting civilians for their "Ukrainian nationality, which is a crime of genocide."
Hill, in turn, assured that he is ready to provide support to the colleagues in those areas where it would be useful for Ukrainian specialists. He added that his team can share their experience and work on the development of trainings and guidelines together with colleagues.
