Poland is one of 18 countries that have started their own criminal investigations into war crimes in Ukraine, according to Ukraine’s prosecutor general, Iryna Venediktova.
The Pilecki Institute’s Lemkin Center is gathering testimony both to serve as an oral history of the war’s atrocities and, if it might relate to a war crime, for referral to Poland’s public prosecutor.
Volunteers from the Lemkin Center (set up by the Pilecki Institute) few times a week visit the Ptak Humanitarian Refugee Center to interview Ukrainian refugees who were eyewitnesses or victims of war crimes committed during Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
