From torture to the summary executions of civilians to the widespread abduction and forced deportation of noncombatants, the anecdotal evidence of Russian war crimes in Ukraine has been mounting for months.
Both the International Criminal Court and the Ukrainian authorities have launched formal investigations for crimes against humanity and potentially genocide.

On The Power Vertical Podcast this week, host Brian Whitmore speaks with Peter Pomerantsev, a Senior Fellow at the SNF Agora Institute at Johns Hopkins University and author of the books Nothing is True and Everything is Possible and This Is Not Propaganda, who is part of a journalistic initiative called The Reckoning Project that is documenting Russian war crimes in Ukraine.
