Ukraine has launched a "Book of Executioners", a system that collects evidence of war crimes Kyiv claims were committed under Russian occupation, President Volodymyr Zilenskiy (pictured) announced on Tuesday (7 June).

Ukrainian prosecutors claim they have recorded more than 12,000 war crimes, involving over 600 suspects, since February 24, when the Kremlin launched its offensive.

Zelenskiy stated in a video that a special publication - "The Book of Executioners" - will be launched next week. It is an information system to confirm data about war criminals and criminals from Russia.

Zelenskiy stated that this was a crucial element of his long-standing promise to bring to justice Russian servicemen who have been accused by Ukrainian authorities of murder, rape, and looting.

Zelenskiy said: "These are concrete facts concerning concrete individuals guilty of cruel crimes against Ukrainians."

He mentioned Bucha, a Kyiv suburb, where investigators discovered evidence of mass executions.

Russia claims it has done everything possible to avoid civilians being targeted in its "special military operations" in Ukraine. Russian officials specifically dismissed photos of Bucha events as "fabrications", which were staged by Ukrainian authorities following the withdrawal of Russian troops from the area.
