UK Condemns Russian Crimes in Ukraine in Latest OSCE Report
London, 19 December 2024 – The UK has strongly condemned the latest report by the OSCE Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights (ODIHR), which documents extensive and ongoing human rights violations by Russian forces in Ukraine.
The report, released on 18 December, details a range of atrocities committed by Russian troops, including summary executions, torture, sexual violence, and forced deportations. It also highlights the destruction of civilian infrastructure and the displacement of millions of Ukrainians.
In a statement to the OSCE, UK Permanent Representative to the OSCE, Neil Bush, said:
“The ODIHR report provides irrefutable evidence of the brutality and barbarism of the Russian regime in Ukraine. These crimes must not go unpunished.”
“We call on the international community to hold Russia accountable for these atrocities and to support Ukraine in its efforts to bring justice to the victims.”
The UK has been a vocal supporter of Ukraine throughout the war, providing military, financial, and humanitarian aid. The UK has also played a leading role in international efforts to hold Russia accountable for its aggression.
In November, the UK joined other allies in referring Russia to the International Criminal Court (ICC) for war crimes and crimes against humanity. The UK is also supporting the work of the ICC and other international bodies to gather evidence and prosecute those responsible for these crimes.
The UK remains committed to supporting Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity and to ensuring that justice is done for the victims of Russian aggression.
