BERLIN: Germany's prosecutor general said on Sunday that his office had collected"hundreds" of pieces of evidence showing war crimes by Russian forces in Ukraine, calling for an international effort to bring leaders to justice.

He said most of the evidence came from interviews with Ukrainian refugees, and the goal was now to"prepare for a possible later court case - whether in Germany or with our foreign partners or an international court". Under the same principle, a group of people from Myanmar last month filed a criminal complaint in Germany, accusing their country's military of genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity."We are not targeting certain specific people in the investigation but rather are collecting information and evidence," he said.

"Who do we want to bring to justice? The leaders of state - those who took the decision to start the war - and the people who at the highest level of the military implement this decision," Frank said.
