Moscow denies allegations its troops have committed war crimes in what it describes as a “special operation” to demilitarize Ukraine.
“Every day we see an increase [in investigations,]” Venediktova said.
“We are talking about people who didn't just come as military combatants… but also came to rape, kill civilians, loot, humiliate and so on,” she said.
