Romanian prosecutors said they’re starting an investigation into alleged crimes against humanity committed by Russia during the war in Ukraine.

Romania’s criminal law applies to offenses committed against a Romanian citizen by a foreign citizen outside the territory of the country, the prosecutor general’s office said in a website statement Monday. The probe, which will be conducted by military prosecutors, also takes into consideration the holding of Romanian citizenship by Ukrainians.
