As more than 2 million refugees scatter after fleeing Ukraine, some carry valuable witness evidence to build a case for potential war crimes.
Such testimonies will increasingly reach the world in the coming days as more people flow along fragile humanitarian corridors.
More evacuations were announced Thursday as desperate residents sought to leave cities where food, water, medicines and other essentials were running out. Russian- and Ukrainian-speaking trained psychologists are badly needed, Vitorino said, as more traumatized witnesses join those fleeing. Some of the latest refugees have seen those deaths first-hand. Their testimonies will be a critical part of efforts to hold Russia accountable for targeting civilians and civilian structures like hospitals and homes.
