Ukraine’s Special Operations Forces are ready to play a major role in bringing justice to Russia’s war criminals. According to Lieutenant Colonel Oleksandr Kindratenko, a spokesperson for the elite units, the operators will seek to hold accountable those responsible for war crimes and other brutal acts.
The Ukrainian Special Operations Forces are willing to work with Kyiv’s intelligence and security services to track down perpetrators anywhere in the world. The representative stated that the ‘warriors’ are prepared to join forces, and are motivated to do everything they can to prevent Russia from starting aggression against any other nation in the region.
The International Criminal Court has issued a war crimes warrant for Vladimir Putin, and a number of international civilian and government agencies and organisations are working to document and record new cases on a daily basis.
The special forces have been heavily involved in wide-ranging operations since the start of the full-scale invasion. Lt Col Kindratenko emphasized how the main motivation of Ukraine’s SOF warriors is to free their land and bring victory, but after victory their motivation will be to ensure those responsible for crimes are held accountable.
In some cases, the operators haven’t had to look far for evidence of Russian atrocities, as Moscow’s troops have recorded and shared their acts of brutality on social media. One example of this is a video that emerged in April 2023, which appeared to show Russian soldiers beheading a Ukrainian prisoner of war.
The Ukrainian SOF are ready to conduct any operations and missions which are directed by higher military and political command. They are also tracing all those atrocities which the occupiers film and publish online, and Lt Col Kindratenko is confident that all those criminals will be punished. He also said that the SOF will play their role in this process, and regardless of where in the world they may be, they will find them.
The SOF units currently active on the battlefield include the 8th Separate Regiment, which is active in the Donbas, and the Navy Seals-style 73rd Naval Centre, which spearheaded the liberation of Snake Island. The 8th Separate Regiment has been operating from the shadows, and the use of special forces to hunt targets responsible for mass murder has been famously deployed by Israel against Nazi war criminals and members of the Palestinian terror group that murdered 11 members of the Israeli Olympic team.
On Tuesday, Lieutenant-General Oleg Tsokov, who knew Putin personally, was said by Ukrainian and Russian sources to have been killed in a strike with a UK-supplied Storm Shadow missile. A series of unexplained explosions and assassinations have also taken place on Russian soil since the start of the full-scale invasion.
Lt Col Kindratenko also delivered an uncompromising message about restoring Ukraine’s lawful borders as they were in 1991. He said that holding Russia accountable for all those horrific atrocities is a matter of principle and honor for the Ukrainian SOF, and they are determined to make sure all those responsible for war crimes are brought to justice.
Ukraine's Special Operations Forces (SOF) are ready to play a major role in holding Russia's war criminals accountable.

The main motivation for Ukraine's SOF warriors is to free their land and bring victory. After victory, their goal is to make sure all those responsible for crimes are held accountable and to do everything possible to stop Russia from starting aggression against any other nation in the region.
The Tribunal 4 Putin coalition is doing its part to document Russian war crimes, with the figure currently standing at more than 45,000 since the start of the full-scale invasion. An international war crimes warrant has been issued for Vladimir Putin by the International Crime Court.
Lt Col Kindratenko said that the operators are keenly aware of the atrocities committed by Russia in places like Bucha and Mariupol. In some cases, the operators haven't had to look far, with Moscow's troops recording their acts of brutality and sharing them on social media.
He also mentioned that Ukrainian SOF, in concert with other Intelligence and Security agencies, will be heavily involved in the process of holding all those war criminals accountable. They are ready to conduct any operations and missions which are directed by higher military and political command. Moreover, they are tracing all those atrocities which the occupiers film and publish online.
The SOF units currently active on the battlefield include the 8th Separate Regiment, which is active in the Donbas and the Navy Seals-style 73rd Naval Centre, which spearheaded the liberation of Snake Island. They are operating from the shadows and are prepared to take covert, integrated operations beyond Ukraine’s borders to hunt down Russia’s war criminals.
Lt Col Kindratenko also delivered an uncompromising message about restoring Ukraine's lawful borders as they were as of 1991, when the nation gained independence from the former Soviet Union. He concluded by saying that regardless of where in the world they might be, they will definitely find all those criminals and that the aggressor's accountability for the crimes must be inevitable.
