The UN Human Rights Commission of Inquiry has formally accused Russian authorities of committing crimes against humanity by targeting Ukraine’s civilian energy infrastructure. The report also alleges that Russia has trafficked foreign nationals to enlist them in its armed forces for the conflict.

These findings underscore the systemic nature of the violations and call for immediate accountability. The Commission urges the international community to intensify investigations, hold perpetrators responsible, and support reparations for affected civilians.
