- Because of "the prevalence of allegations of killings of civilians in these three regions" and OHCHR's capacity to verify and document deaths there after Russian forces withdrew, the scope of the new study was limited to the Russian-controlled areas during the initial days of conflict.
- It thoroughly investigated 100 of the killings.
