On Thursday, President Zuzana Čaputová received Slovak experts upon their arrival from Ukraine where they are helping document suspicions of war crimes and crimes against humanity, in the Kjiv and Chernihiv regions.
"It was the first mission of its kind in Slovakia's modern history. We were the second country after France to bilaterally help Ukraine map the crimes that happened there and that are still happening there," stressed Čaputová. The head of state presented thank-you medals to all eight members of the group.
"We worked to record everything that could be seen. From the objects that were next to the bodies to the signs of violence," said forensic doctor Norbert Moravanský. They handed over 72 described cases to the Ukrainian Prosecutor General's Office. "What we set as a standard was adopted by the Ukrainian side, which until then relied only on sampling," added forensic anthropologist Radoslav Beňuš.
