The number of war crime investigations open in Ukraine at the start of the fall was 178,391, Ukrainian prosecutor Vitalii Dovhal told CBS' "60 Minutes" in a program airing Sunday evening.
The revelation comes as Ukrainian and U.S. officials hold talks on President Trump's 28-point peace plan that would force Kyiv to make concessions including ceding additional territory to Russia's invading forces and accepting full amnesty for Russians accused of war crimes.
CBS' Scott Pelley said on "60 Minutes" that he met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky last April "on a playground where a missile killed nine children and 10 adults," noting this and "so many more" deadly attacks make Ukraine "the largest crime scene in the world."
t wasn't immediately clear from the U.S. and Ukraine's joint statement on making "meaningful progress" in discussing Trump's plan Sunday night whether the proposed war crimes requirement was in the updated peace framework they drafted.
