Prosecutor General Andriy Kostin said if the ICC took on the prosecution of the hospital strike, it could help establish a pattern of attacks that show Russia is committing crimes against humanity in Ukraine
Hospital staff clean up following a Russian missile strike on the Okhmatdyt Children's Hospital, in Kyiv, on July 9.Ukraine’s top prosecutor has called for the International Criminal Court to prosecute Russia over a missile strike on a children’s hospital in Kyiv earlier this week.
A UN rights mission has said there is a “high likelihood” the hospital took a direct hit from a Russian missile, and Ukraine’s security service said it had unequivocal evidence the medical facility was hit by a Russian Kh-101 cruise missile. The ICC’s Office of the Prosecutor said on Tuesday one of its teams had visited the site of the hospital strike. While the ICC does not publicly comment on which indictments it is investigating, it has warned that anyone deemed responsible for attacking civilian sites could be prosecuted.
Moscow has repeatedly denied accusations that its forces have committed atrocities since it invaded its neighbour.
