Russian war crimes prosecution process

 Yahoo News:

Ukraine has identified more than 600 Russian war crime suspects since the start of the invasion, Kyiv's top prosecutor has said.

The list of suspects includes "top military, politicians and propaganda agents of Russia”, prosecutor general Iryna Venediktova told a news conference in The Hague on Tuesday.

She added Ukraine has started prosecuting around 80 of them.

Venediktova said Estonia, Latvia and Slovakia had decided to join an international investigation team, which already includes Lithuania and Poland, to look at suspected war crimes in Ukraine.

Moscow denies committing war crimes or targeting civilians during a conflict which began in February that has killed thousands, devastated many cities and towns and forced five million people to flee abroad.

Kyiv has accused Russia of atrocities and brutality against civilians during the invasion and said it had identified more than 10,000 possible war crimes.

Russia is accused of indiscriminate operations that resulted in the deaths of non-combatents.  That is considered a possible war crime.

The latest survey, conducted by Towers Watson, echoes an ealier survey by McKinsey & Co. finding that 30% of private-sector employers were planning to drop their employee health insurance coverage by 2014. When the Congressional Budget Office crunched Obamacare's spending numbers, they estimated that only 7% of employees currently covered by employer-sponsored plans would lose their plans. ... This means the cost of the health care fiasco will be hundreds of billions more than estimated by the CBO and Congressional Democrat.
