The Office of the Prosecutor General of Ukraine is strengthening cooperation with foreign partners in documenting war crimes committed by the Russian Federation and the environmental damage caused by the aggressor country. This was reported by UNN with reference to the Office of the Prosecutor General.

Deputy Prosecutor General Andriy Leshchenko met with a delegation from the Ministry of Justice of the French Republic, led by Judge Sébastien Sider, Head of the European and International Cooperation Department.
