Comment of the MFA of Ukraine on the report of the UN Independent International Commission of Inquiry on Ukraine

Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine

29 October 2025 17:17

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine welcomes the publication of the new report of the UN Independent International Commission of Inquiry on Ukraine, prepared in accordance with UN Human Rights Council Resolution 58/24.

Ukraine expresses its gratitude to the Members of the Commission for their consistent, professional and impartial work in the context of the ongoing full-scale aggression of the Russian Federation against Ukraine. The report is yet another weighty evidence of gross and systemic violations of international humanitarian law and international human rights law committed by the Russian Federation on the territory of Ukraine.

The Commission has documented numerous facts of indiscriminate and deliberate attacks by Russian armed forces against civilians and civilian infrastructure, torture, inhuman treatment, sexual violence, unlawful detention and deportations, including of children. The evidence collected indicates a targeted policy that may constitute crimes against humanity.

The Ministry supports the Commission's conclusions on the need to ensure accountability for all recorded crimes. The Russian Federation must immediately cease attacks on civilians, the practice of deportations and forced displacements, as well as cruel and inhuman treatment of Ukrainian citizens in the temporarily occupied territories.

Ukraine will continue to fully cooperate with international justice mechanisms, including the International Criminal Court, to bring to justice those involved in committing war crimes and crimes against humanity. We are also consistently working to strengthen the system of protection of the rights of victims, and to provide medical, psychological and social assistance.

The Ministry calls on the international community to strengthen its support for Ukraine in documenting crimes, protecting victims, and ensuring justice. It is important that all materials collected by the Commission be used in international and domestic legal proceedings to hold the Russian Federation accountable.

Ukraine is convinced that the implementation of the Commission's recommendations will contribute to restoring justice for all victims, strengthening international law and order, and preventing the recurrence of such crimes in the future.
