As Russia began its attack on Ukraine in late February, the Ukrainian Bar Association (UBA) sprang into action, issuing statements condemning the violence, calling on international leaders to impose sanctions on the Russian government and mobilizing its members to assist refugees fleeing to nearby countries. The group also has launched a hotline providing legal advice to Ukrainians on issues such as property damage, injuries, migration and mobilization, and is working to gather evidence of war crimes and crimes against humanity. UBA UBA CEO Inna Liniova and President Anna Ogrenchuk spoke with the ABA Journal about these ongoing efforts.
