France has donated a mobile laboratory for DNA analysis to Ukraine, according to the Ministry of the Interior and the Ministry of Europe and Foreign Affairs of France.
“On July 14, 2022, the Center for Crisis and Support of the Ministry of Europe and Foreign Affairs handed over to the Office of the Prosecutor General of Ukraine a new mobile laboratory for express analysis and DNA examination,” the French Foreign Ministry said in a joint press release published on Friday.
This DNA lab, similar to the one deployed on site by the French IRCGN Forensic Support Mission and funded by the Ministry for Europe and Foreign Affairs, is a deployable facility unmatched in the world of forensic genetics, allowing rapid genetic analysis of large numbers of biological samples. .
It was developed by the French company TRACIP (Deveryware Group) together with IRCGN, which is an expert in victim identification (DNA sampling and processing) and evidence collection.
The departments assured that, as a sign of solidarity with the Ukrainian people, France will continue to support the fight against impunity in Ukraine.
