Sergey Lavrov addressed the forum participants of the International Research and Practice Forum, The Khabarovsk War Crime Trials: Historic Significance and Contemporary Challenges, via videoconference, on Monday.

The Khabarovsk War Crime Trials were hearings held between 25-31 December 1949, in the Soviet Union's industrial city of Khabarovsk, the largest city within the Russian Far East adjacent to Japan. There, twelve members of the Japanese Kwantung Army were tried as war criminals for manufacturing and using biological weapons during World War II.
