Ukraine is tracking down Russian war criminals one by one - through battlefield captures, intelligence work, and court trials. Kurashov’s life sentence shows Kyiv’s resolve: those who execute POWs will be found, tried, or eliminated on the front.

Ukraine’s intelligence services have shown reach beyond the battlefield - tracking, identifying, and in some cases neutralising hostile operatives abroad. Their pursuit of Bucha’s perpetrators reflects both capability and intent to enforce accountability.

The handover signals growing judicial cooperation between Ukraine and EU partners. By transferring suspects for national prosecution, Kyiv reinforces its alignment with European legal frameworks and builds evidence chains for future international cases.

This confirmed action indicates Ukraine’s continued capacity for targeted operations inside Russia. It further underscores scrutiny on Russian forces involved in the Kyiv offensive, where multiple units remain subjects of war crimes investigations.
