Recently, representatives of GRC met with the Attorney General, Lord Hermer KC, in Irpin near the destroyed bridge, a site marked by the devastation of the early days of the full-scale invasion. During the meeting, legal advisers discussed the ongoing challenges in investigating war crimes and shared their insights into the situation on the ground.
Lord Hermer KC reaffirmed the UK’s commitment to support Ukraine in its fight for freedom and justice, stating, “The UK supports Ukraine’s fight for freedom and its fight for justice. Russia must be accountable both for specific atrocities and its act of aggression. From the battlefield to the courtroom, the UK stands with Ukraine.”
Lidiia Volkova, GRC Legal Adviser, expressed gratitude to international partners for their continued support and emphasised the importance of GRC’s involvement in the international Atrocity Crimes Advisory Group initiative.
“Ukraine is going through an extraordinarily difficult time, and now is the moment for the entire civilised world to consolidate its efforts to confront aggression and violations of international law and human rights. Our team is doing everything possible to support Ukrainian law enforcement agencies on their path to achieving justice together,” Volkova said.
