At least three feminist activists have been detained for vandalising a monument outside the United Nations building in Geneva to protest Russia’s war against Ukraine and what they see as the UN's failure to stop the conflict.

Russia is allegedly ratcheting up its heinous war crimes, executing Ukrainian prisoners at an increasingly high rate — with 86% of all of the murders occurring this past year.

Ukrainian forces have also been accused of executing Russian prisoners of war, but the number of such claims has been much smaller. Yuri Belousov says that the Ukrainian prosecution service treats such accusations "very seriously" and is investigating them - but so far no one has been charged.
