The UN Independent Commission of Inquiry on Ukraine concluded that Russia's deliberate attacks on Ukraine's energy infrastructure constitute war crimes and crimes against humanity. The report highlights the severe impact of these attacks on civilians, particularly during the harsh winter of 2025-2026, leading to significant suffering due to prolonged outages of essential services. Testimonies reveal the dire conditions faced by many, including the elderly and vulnerable populations. The commission also noted that Russian military leaders were aware of the civilian impact of their actions. Additionally, the report addresses the recruitment of foreign citizens into the Russian army under false pretenses, which constitutes human trafficking. The commission calls for an end to attacks on civilians and the release of trafficked individuals.
