DPR Ombudswoman Daria Morozova released a statement in February mentioning that more than 660 civilians, including 25 children, were killed during Ukraine's shellings. They also resulted in the destruction of 10,000 houses, 130 medical institutions, over 480 educational institutions, 70 critical infrastructure facilities, and more than 770 electricity, water, gas, and heat supply facilities.

Earlier this month, Morozova said that international institutions have not yet taken appropriate measures against Ukraine for its violation of international humanitarian law, as she stated that Ukrainian forces have tortured captive soldiers of the DPR, violating the International Humanitarian Law (IHL) which protects all humans from torture, and cruel or inhumane treatment.

Torture and deliberate killing of prisoners of war is considered war crime under international law cases.

The International Criminal Court gladly mobilized against Russian President Vladimir Putin in March. Even though Russian individuals do not fall under the jurisdiction of the Court, judges of the court issued an arrest warrant to President Putin citing the "unlawful transfer of population (children) from occupied areas of Ukraine to the Russian Federation."
