The U.S. stiffens the tongue of Russia: He committed crimes against humanity in Ukraine

White House's number two accused the army and Russian authorities of committing terrible acts, murders, torture and rape during the war in Ukraine and added that their authors would be held accountable.

The UN defines crimes against humanity as widespread or systematic attacks on a certain civilian population.

While Moscow has repeatedly denied targeting civilians during its invasion in Ukraine, which started on 24 February.

In the case of Russia's actions in Ukraine, we have examined the evidence, according to legal standards and there is no doubt that these are crimes against humanity”, Harris said at the conference.

She cited barbarous and inhuman atrocities during the war in Ukraine, including many troops found in Bucha and Marioupol.

There are 15 crimes estimated to be a crime against humanity, murder, slavery, torture, rape, and deportation.

Crimes against humanity are tried at the International Criminal Court, but it has no powers to arrest suspects and can exercise jurisdiction only within countries that have signed the agreement to establish this court.
