The British Foreign Office said in a statement on Twitter, Ukrinform reports.
“We know that the Kremlin is preparing fresh lies to account for atrocities on civilians in Ukraine. These attempts to cover up horrific acts of violence will not deter investigators,” the statement says.
In an attached video, the British Foreign Office said there is clear evidence of numerous atrocities committed by Russian troops against the civilian population in Ukraine and civilian infrastructure, and that "Putin's war is built on lies."
"The UK is offering funding, personnel and military expertise to hold perpetrators to account,” the statement says.
In March, the International Criminal Court, at the request of 42 countries, announced the launch of an investigation into war crimes following Russia's invasion of Ukraine. ICC Prosecutor Khan stated that grounds to believe that crimes within the jurisdiction of the ICC were committed in the territory of Ukraine.
On February 24, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced the beginning of a full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Russian troops have been shelling and destroying key infrastructure facilities, conducting massive shelling of residential areas of Ukrainian cities and villages using artillery, multiple rocket launchers and ballistic missiles.
