The National Police has received a new technical assistance package from the United States to document Russian crimes, which includes cars, drones, ground laser scanning systems, and a DNA laboratory.
According to Ukrinform, this was reported by the press service of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
“Today, on February 16, a ceremony of transferring US technical assistance to investigative units took place at the Situation Center of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine. We are talking about 66 cars, 250 drones, 9 3D ground laser scanning systems with software and a DNA laboratory,” the statement said.
At the beginning of the event, Minister of Internal Affairs Ihor Klymenko thanked the U.S. authorities and Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary Bridget Brink personally for their comprehensive assistance to Ukraine during almost two years of full-scale war. In particular, he said that during this time, the U.S. Embassy’s Law Enforcement Section has provided over USD 287 million in aid to the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
In her turn, Brink emphasized that today’s gesture by official Washington to provide technical assistance is evidence of its steadfast support for Ukraine on its path to justice and punishment of the Russian Federation for war crimes.
“We are providing this assistance so that your units can collect evidence as safely as possible and prove to the world the heinous crimes committed by the Russian army on the territory of Ukraine. My country highly values your values, and on behalf of the President of the United States, I reaffirm our full support,” the US Ambassador emphasized.
In total, since the beginning of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, the United States has provided USD 17 million in assistance to the National Police investigative units.
