Tactics which human rights lawyers say amount to war crimes under the Geneva conventions as well as breaches of international humanitarian law Russian forces now occupy most of the north-west and central Kyiv region Chudvosky said he intended to submit detailed notes and recordings of what he witnessed as evidence for the international criminal court in The Hague, via Ukrainian state prosecutors, who are preparing submissions. There is increasing evidence that Russia may be trying to ensure its crimes remain unrecorded by cutting off communications in civilian areas Residents of villages just south of Chudovsky’s town said that Russian forces confiscated phones after they entered Russian soldiers checked people’s phones to ensure tthey were not filming or photographing the soldiers’ actions They took their phones away and said any calls would result in executions.” Chudovsky used his car as a generator to charge his phone and would climb up to his attic to find a mobile signal Irina from Mykolaiv shows a friend’s burning building on her phone while waiting for a train to Krakow Photograph: Fabrizio Bensch/ReutersDespite his car’s generator the Guardian lost contact with Chudovsky for four days he managed to leave through a humanitarian corridor established by the International Red Cross Ukraine’s State Agency for Communication said on 15 March that they believe Russia has deliberately targeted telecommunications masts and is using jamming devices to prevent civilians in the affected areas from communicating. In the southern city of Mariupol, which has been under siege for almost two weeks, they have also had no phone signal. Hundreds of thousands of people have been trapped without access to food, medicine, water or electricity and hospitals have been targeted with airstrikes. Not being able to communicate has meant that people do not even know about the humanitarian corridors that have been established to evacuate the population. “People are sitting in their basements and simply don’t know what’s going on,” said Dmytro, who declined to give his last name and managed to leave Mariupol after he found out about the corridor through word of mouth. So far, only a few thousand have managed to leave the city of 450,000 people. Mazen Darwish, a Syrian human rights lawyer who helped to lead recent prosecutions against the Syrian regime in Germany, said that the most important step Ukrainians can take towards accountability is to document the crimes. Read more“My advice is not to wait until the UN sends a mission or the ICC starts their investigation,” said Darwish who has been working on justice for Syrians for the past 11 years “Ukrainians should know that they are the most important player in the documentation and collecting of evidence.” Nick Waters, the lead for Ukraine at the open-source investigative organisation Bellingcat said it was actively collecting evidence of attacks on civilians coming out of Ukraine he stressed the importance of filming the crime scene but warned Ukrainians not to put themselves in danger by trying to pick up pieces of weapons or publishing it from an identifiable location if they are still under occupation Waters cited a guide published by the NGO Witness to using video to document human rights abuses. “The big issue with these kinds of images and videos is you never really know who actually originally took them, which is obviously a bit of an issue if you’ve planned to use it in court.” Read moreWhile Chudovsky recorded the airstrikes and attacks, he too became a victim of breaches of international humanitarian law in the form of siege tactics. Russia and the Syrian regime previously used these tactics against Syrian resistance and opposition forces. Those who left before the Russians occupied the town left their keys so that other residents could eat their food. Chudvosky described how in the days before he left he let himself into their empty houses and took food out of the fridges. Some residents have decided to stay in Vorzel because they felt they had nowhere to go, Chudovsky said. Like those who left before him, he and the 25 other residents who went on the same day handed over their keys. The relevant statement was made by Advisor to Ukrainian Internal Affairs Minister Vadym Denysenko, an Ukrinform correspondent reports. “The situation in Bucha, Hostomel and Vorzel is remaining critical. The thing is that they are fully controlled by Russians at the moment,” Denysenko told. In addition, Russian invaders are preventing food deliveries to Kherson. Whenever entrepreneurs attempt to get to the city, the Russian military stop them, fire on them, throw them out of cars, intimidating people this way. “Actually, this is the situation in many regions, where the Russian occupation troops came. We have similar stories in Kyiv Region, Sumy Region and Kherson Region,” Denysenko said. In his words, at the moment the Russian side refuses to organize humanitarian corridors to let civilians leave the captured settlements. “We are involving international organizations and presidents of other countries to resolve this humanitarian issue. But, as we can get, this is a personal instruction from Vladimir Putin, to now allow for any humanitarian corridors yet,” Denysenko noted. A reminder that, on February 24, 2022, Russian President Vladimir Putin initiated a full-scale invasion of Ukraine, starting a war. The Russian military are shelling and destroying the key infrastructure facilities, launching missile strikes on residential districts in Ukrainian cities and villages.

Our second goal is to honor the memory of those who perished we met with all the heroes or relatives of the deceased The first thing we asked was whether they were willing to share their story for the film and whether such a film was necessary we want the world to know about this.'" the film was presented at some of the most influential global film events including a special event dedicated to the film at the European Film Market of the Berlin International Film Festival (Berlinale) in February as well as separate screenings in New York and Boston working materials were showcased at the 80th Anniversary Venice International Film Festival (La Biennale di Venezia) and the Toronto International Film Festival the film's materials were presented at the Cannes Film Festival's Film Market in May and at the Tribeca Film Festival's Film Market in New York in June A seminary damaged and ransacked by Russian troops – who stole a chalice given by Pope St John Paul II – plans to re-open its doors this September with help from a leading Catholic charity Aid to the Church in Need (ACN) has announced that it will help rebuild Sacred Heart Seminary in Vorzel which was looted by Russian troops after sustaining damage from two mortar bombardments Seminary rector Father Ruslan Mykhalkiv told ACN that the buildings were left in a terrible state He said: “They took everything they could – kitchen utensils “The seminarians’ rooms were ransacked and they took liturgical items including a chalice donated by Saint John Paul II when he visited Ukraine in 2001.” ACN has promised to cover the costs of replacing the furniture and equipment that was stolen in addition to rebuilding The Latin-Rite seminary was home to 25 young men training for the priesthood but they were forced to abandon the site on 25th February after Russian Federation fighters seized Kyiv International Airport and proceeded to enter Vorzel They had already occupied neighbouring Bucha where soldiers reportedly killed hundreds of civilians Students and seminary staff fled with five children from the nearby orphanage and the two Sisters caring for them Father Mykhalkiv was able to return last month after Russian forces were driven out from the area around Ukraine’s capital if our seminarians manage to return in September.” stressed that helping the Church to recover would be part of the charity’s ongoing work in the country we have been giving our full support to the local Church of both rites “First with emergency support in the war zones and for refugees in the west of the country… we have been helping the parishes and monasteries in Ukraine that opened their doors to refugees giving them material and spiritual support ACN has provided more than £2 million in essential help to enable the Church to minister to those affected by the war This includes aid announced last week providing food and shelter for more than 200 displaced women and children being cared for by Ivano-Frankivsk Archdiocese By continuing to use the site, you agree to the use of cookies. more information Accept The cookie settings on this website are set to "allow cookies" to give you the best browsing experience possible If you continue to use this website without changing your cookie settings or you click "Accept" below then you are consenting to this ANY DONATIONS AND MASS OFFERINGS YOU KINDLY GIVE THROUGH THIS WEBSITE WILL BE COLLECTED BY ACN TRADING LTD ON BEHALF OF AID TO THE CHURCH IN NEED (UK) Copyright © 2025 Aid to the Church in Need.
