In line with its monitoring mandate, ODIHR launched the Ukraine Monitoring Initiative (UMI) to monitor and report on the most pressing issues affecting the lives of civilians and prisoners of war (POWs), following the Russian Federation’s military attack in Ukraine on 24 February 2022. This is the Third Interim Report on Reported Violations of International Humanitarian Law and International Human Rights Law produced by the UMI. The Report includes a short overview of violations in the context of the armed conflict since 1 November 2022, while the main body of the report focuses on specific issues reported to ODIHR by 119 witnesses during four monitoring deployments conducted by ODIHR from February to May 2023.

The report is also informed by the UMI’s remote monitoring, using open-source investigation techniques and information supplied by institutions of the Russian Federation and Ukraine and civil society organizations, among other actors, that are referenced in the report.
