The USA has officially established that Russian troops in Ukraine have committed crimes against humanity.
US Vice President Kamala Harris stated this at the Munich Security Conference.
“We have studied the evidence. We know the legal standards. And there is no doubt that these are crimes against humanity,” the vice president emphasized, adding that Russia is conducting “large-scale and systematic attacks on the civilian population of Ukraine.”
According to Harris, the administration of the US president will continue to help Kyiv investigate war crimes. “I say to all those who committed these crimes and their leadership involved in these crimes, you will be brought to justice,” the politician promised.
In cities close to the war zone, in particular, in the Donetsk region, civilians die almost every day. The Ukrainian authorities always call on the residents of the front-line settlements to evacuate while such an opportunity exists.
- The 59th Munich Security Conference, the main Western forum on foreign and security policy, opened in Germany on Friday, February 17. The central theme of the conference, which will last until February 19, was Russiaʼs war against Ukraine.
