US attorney general in Ukraine to discuss war crimes
A US Justice Department official said that US Attorney General Merrick Garland was visiting Ukraine on Tuesday to discuss prosecution of individuals involved in war crimes in the European nation invaded by Russia in late February.
The official said, Garland is meeting with Ukrainian Prosecutor General Iryna Venediktova near the Polish-Ukrainian border.
The official said, they will discuss US and international efforts to help Ukraine "identify, apprehend, and prosecute those individuals involved in war crimes and other atrocities in Ukraine."
Garland is stopping in Ukraine on his way to the US-EU Ministerial in Paris.
Nearly four months after Russia invaded Ukraine, Kyiv says it has identified thousands of suspected war crimes cases.
