Vyhivskyi: Kyiv policemen record war crimes of the Russian Federation around the clock and work to return citizens to peaceful days

"During the war, the police continue to work in an intensified mode, ensuring 24/7 law and order in the country," said Ivan Vyhivskyi, head of the Main Directorate of the National Police in the city of Kyiv

Helping citizens, ensuring the operation of checkpoints, carrying out evacuations, checking documents and vehicles, conducting searches and investigative work on saboteurs, combating crime and preventing looting, investigating war crimes - in such areas of activity during the martial law period, the capital police and all other police units of the country.

Since the beginning of the Russian Federation's full-scale war against Ukraine, the Kyiv police have received thousands of appeals and statements, to which operators respond around the clock and advise citizens.

Enhanced security measures are in place in the capital, which enable the police to effectively identify enemy agents and sympathizers of the aggressor country. A sufficient number of persons involved in subversive activities have already been detained, and criminal proceedings have been initiated for collaborationism.

As the head of the Kyiv police emphasized, a special emphasis of police work is to identify those who have decided to encroach on other people's property. Many property crimes were registered. Suspects of theft, robbery and robbery under martial law are charged with criminal liability, which carries a penalty of 5 to 15 years in prison.

The requirements of wartime dictate the maintenance of law and order, including at checkpoints, where policemen perform their duties day and night.

After the liberation of the settlements of Kyiv region from the occupiers, the main burden of activity in these areas falls on the police and rescuers. The priority tasks of the police are documenting the crimes of the Russian military, demining territories, exhuming the bodies of civilians killed and tortured by the Russian army, recording the destruction caused by military operations.

According to the head of the capital Glavku, the police of Kyiv are documenting war crimes in the liberated Gostomel, which was awarded the title of hero city by the President of Ukraine, and which was one of the first to undergo significant shelling and destruction.

"As of April 14 of this year, Kyiv police inspected 628 premises on the territory of the city of Gostomel, both residential and non-residential buildings. As part of the criminal proceedings under the second part of Article 438 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine - violation of the laws and customs of war, law enforcement officers continue to document the deaths of civilians, identify burial sites, and conduct the necessary investigative actions. Every day, the capital's explosives experts remove enemy ammunition left by the Russian military in forest park areas, house yards, and simply on the streets of the city, currently their number is 266. There are many unused and unexploded ammunition among the ammunition, so work is underway to safely destroy them." reported Vyhivskyi.

Law enforcement officers are recording the testimonies of residents regarding possible crimes and acts of aggression against peaceful citizens. All collected materials will be included in criminal proceedings.

"Kyiv police officers work around the clock at the sites of hostilities in order to record every war crime of the Russian Federation and help the city return to peaceful days," noted the head of the capital's police.
