The US government has formally declared that members of the Russian armed forces have committed war crimes in Ukraine, Secretary of State Antony Blinken said in a statement Wednesday.
The official US declaration that Moscow has violated the laws of conflict comes after Blinken, President Joe Biden and Deputy Secretary of State Wendy Sherman all said it was their personal opinion that war crimes have taken place.
"Today, I can announce that, based on information currently available, the US government assesses that members of Russia's forces have committed war crimes in Ukraine," Blinken said in a statement.

Like I would believe anyone in this current administration.
And he will do nothing. Germany is still buying there energy and now china will step in. Then what’s he gonna do.. threaten china. Makes me feel like there is a plan in place.
How can they? I thought the Russians were all dead, killed by dancing queens with attitude.
The latest attempt to coverup the Democrat’s misdeeds.
Like Dresden?
I recall a few civilians (including kids) blown up in a drone strike by Americans. Government investigated itself and found it was just an oopsy doo mistake
If any war crimes are being committed, it's by Azov bastards that are killing civilians trying to leave major population centers. There are plenty of videos of residents out there proving that.
....and Putin shrugs like Bill Barr sipping a Desani.
That's either an extremely weak attempt at levity - which would be inappropriate in this context - or a very obvious attempt at distraction and misdirection from a very real issue.
No one has claimed that the Russians were "all dead."
War crimes should not be scoffed at.
Regards,
And you really trust this administration?
ONLY winners of wars prosecute war crimes.
That announcement is undoubtedly true, but not at all helpful for solving the crisis.
Yeah and the charges are?
> Like Dresden? <
Or like My Lai. Every country in every war has committed war crimes. That’s not to excuse the crimes, of course. But if you care to look, they are always there.
“ONLY winners of wars prosecute war crimes”.
Correct.
well, since you’ve already told them all the things we AREN’T going to do... what ARE you going to do???
And yet, not even a whisper of the crimes our Mother Government commits against her citizenry on a daily basis.
And during Peacetime, no less. ;)
“..And you really trust this administration?...”
One would be better off taking their chances in a completely dark room and a diamond-back rattlesnake.
