Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has announced a new war crimes information system. In the coming week, a "book of torturers" is to be launched, in which confirmed information about war criminals and criminals in the Russian armed forces will be collected, Zelenskyy said in his evening video message.
"I have repeatedly emphasized that they will all be held accountable. And we are taking this step by step," said the president. The information collected is about "specific facts about specific people, specific violent crimes against Ukrainians committed," said Zelenskyj. It's about not only holding the direct perpetrators, such as the soldiers, accountable, but also their commanders.
According to Selenskyj, Russian troops were unable to break through in the embattled eastern Ukraine. "The situation at the front has not undergone any significant changes in the last 24 hours," said the President. "The extremely heroic defense of Donbass continues." The fiercest fighting continued for Sieverodonetsk, Lysychansk and Popasna. "It can be felt that the occupiers did not believe that the resistance would be so strong," Zelenskyj said. Russia is now trying to deploy additional units in the Donbass, but also in the Cherson region in southern Ukraine, in order to stop Ukrainian counterattacks.

The ultimate goal would be to gain full control over the entire territory of Ukraine - but pushing the troops back only into the areas in eastern Ukraine already occupied before February 24 would already mean an important temporary success. The war will now be decided on the battlefield. Zelenskyj continued to be open to peace talks. However, negotiations would have to take place with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Zelenskyy said he hoped that "the same national spirit" sparked by Russia's attack in Ukraine would last after the war because "it would give us the chance to restore our country and it would give us the chance 'to become a great nation'.

Ukraine has denied Russian claims that Russian troops have largely taken control of the embattled city of Sieverodonetsk.
