It’s been a full two years since the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine which gave rise to “horrific” abuses and likely war crimes, including systematic torture and rape.

These grave violations are detailed in a new report to the UN Human Rights Council by the Commission of Inquiry on Ukraine which was published on Friday.

Leading the inquiry is independent rights expert and Commission Chair Erik Møse.

UN News’s Daniel Johnson in Geneva sat down with him after the report launch and began by asking what had been learned about the brutal siege of Mariupol, at the start of the war.
