European Justice Commissioner Didier Reders[/B] pledged that war crimes in Ukraine will be prosecuted and that atrocities committed since the Russian army invaded the country on 24 February "will not go unpunished".
In an interview published yesterday by the Italian newspaper La Stampa, Mr Reders clarified that eleven EU member states have begun investigations into war crimes and have identified over 600 suspects so far.

Investigations are being conducted both on Ukrainian territory and in other European countries, where evidence is being gathered and statements are being taken from people who fled the country to escape the conflict, the Justice Commissioner explained.
He stressed, however, that evidence of war crimes must be gathered properly, as "if it includes false information or false news, it will be a disaster."
