Achieving justice is a joint effort of states, investigators, and journalists; together, we will ensure the inevitability of punishment. This was emphasized by Prosecutor General of Ukraine Andriy Kostin, summarizing the meeting with Lithuanian media, UNN reports.
Today in Lithuania, a meeting with local journalists and another opportunity to thank partners for their solidarity. Lithuanian media deeply feel our tragedy and are doing important work: telling the world the truth about Russia's atrocities. This matters: when the truth is spoken loudly, impunity weakens.
During the conversation, Kravchenko emphasized the key points:
• approximately 190,000 criminal proceedings regarding war crimes have been registered and are being investigated in Ukraine;
• international coordination is vital. The Joint Investigation Team, which Lithuania was one of the first to join, is an example of effective cooperation;
• the decision of Lithuanian partners to prosecute a suspect in war crimes is historic and sends a strong signal: no perpetrator, no commander will escape justice.
It is clear to me: achieving justice is a joint effort of states, investigators, and journalists. I am confident that together we will achieve the inevitability of punishment. And we will ensure that future generations never experience what present-day Ukraine is going through.
