Ukraine’s fightback against Russian aggression extends not only to the battlefield, but also to the legal arena.
Across this shattered country, testimony and evidence are being gathered for a goal that may not come until long after the guns have fallen silent – international justice.
The pursuit of it is being led by Ukraine’s Prosecutor General, Iryna Venediktova, appointed two years ago as the first woman to hold the office.
She watched the exhumation of another mass grave this week, beneath a gold-domed church in Bucha, where the darkest of sins were discovered – 10 victims this time, some completely charred. Their remains were placed into body bags and taken off for an attempt at identification.
