The RCMP has launched a national investigation into allegations of war crimes and crimes against humanity committed in Ukraine.
CBC NewsPeople walk through debris and destroyed Russian military vehicles on a street on Wednesday in Bucha, Ukraine. The Ukrainian government has accused Russian forces of committing a 'deliberate massacre' as they occupied and eventually retreated from Bucha, 25 kilometres northwest of Kyiv.
The War Crimes Program is a partnership between the Department of Justice, RCMP, the Canada Border Services Agency and Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada. "It is essential that such information be collected and protected at the earliest opportunity, to ensure it is not lost with the passage of time and to preserve crucial evidence for future prosecutions," the statement said.
A website has been launched to provide Ukrainians information about the investigation, with pamphlets also being given to those arriving at Canada's airports starting this week and by groups working with the newcomers.
