Ukraine’s prosecutor’s office says they have about 130,000 potential incidents of war crimes, and issued 250 notices of suspicion. Courts convicted more than a hundred, most of those in absentia. But before you have a trial, you obviously have to gather evidence. And this is slippery stuff, explain our partners at Asymmetrical Haircuts. In this podcast, Janet Anderson and Stephanie van den Berg are joined by their colleague in The Hague Molly Quell, who did a reporting trip to Ukraine and focused on the nitty-gritty of evidence.

The three reporters talked to people gathering evidence on the spot in Bucha and elsewhere. So much has changed over the years in what constitutes evidence in a war crimes case. And “Ukraine is this huge cauldron of experiment”.
