War crimes in Ukraine | DW Documentary

In February, Russia launched an all-out attack on Ukraine. A few days later, drone videos provided the first evidence of war crimes - committed on a highway outside Kyiv. Reporters tracked down survivors and identified suspects. The investigating prosecutor’s office believes more than 30 civilians were killed. Who were the perpetrators? As it turns out, there is a good deal of evidence: Occupying soldiers failed to remove incriminating evidence before they withdrew from the northern suburbs of Kyiv. Along the Zhytomyr highway, where the soldiers had set up camp, reporters uncovered a papertrail. Among other documents, they found forms that Russian soldiers had countersigned for the receipt of weapons and ammunition. These clues lead to a notorious Russian army unit. In “Death Road“, one of the many war crimes against Ukrainian civilians is reconstructed with the help of witnesses, victims and documents. #documentary #dwdocumentary #ukraine #warzone ______ DW Doc
