On February 21, 2025, Roman Kobylnyk, a Category I specialist at the Institute of History, Ethnology and Archaeology of the Carpathians, took part in the Third All-Ukrainian Scientific and Practical Conference with International Participation “Russian War Crimes – From Documentation to Punishment”. The Educational and Scientific Law Institute of the Vasyl Stefanyk Precarpathian National University organized the conference.
The scientific forum became a kind of interim result of the work on collecting and documenting Russian war crimes, which has been ongoing since the beginning of the full-scale war. The collected materials will become evidence for both the European Court of Human Rights and the special tribunal for crimes of aggression of Russia, which has already begun to be created in the European Union. The goal of the project is to accumulate enough evidence to ensure fair punishment of the guilty and condemn racism, just as Nazism was condemned at one time. Internally displaced persons were interviewed. More than 1,200 testimonies have already been collected.
