WASHINGTON, March 8 (Sputnik) - The United States has no direct evidence of war crimes in Ukraine besides what is seen on social media, Defence Intelligence Agency Director Lt. Gen. Scott Berrier said on Tuesday.

"I don’t know if we have direct evidence besides what we see on social media," Berrier said during a congressional hearing.
German Public Prosecutor General Peter Frank has launched an investigation into alleged war crimes in Ukraine, Der Spiegel reported on Tuesday, citing judiciary sources.

Last month, International Criminal Court (ICC) Prosecutor Karim Khan announced his decision to open an investigation into possible war crimes in Ukraine. Later, Khan said that an advance team of ICC experts had departed for the country.
