Blinken condemns Russia for killing civilians in Ukraine

Source: MSN

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken condemned Russia on Tuesday for killing civilians in Ukraine, telling the United Nations Human Rights Council that Russian strikes "are hitting schools, hospitals and residential buildings."

"They are destroying critical infrastructure, which provides millions of people across Ukraine with drinking water, gas to keep them from freezing to death, and electricity. Civilian buses, cars, and even ambulances have been shelled. Russia is doing this every day -- across Ukraine," Blinken added.

The remarks by the top US diplomat come after Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky accused Russia of war crimes for bombing the city of Kharkiv.

Over the past two days, Russian attacks have hit civilians, suggesting a shift towards a far more aggressive bombing campaign. Earlier Russian attacks were more focused on military targets.

with a tourniquet on her leg, with her foot still lying in the street--the journalist wouldn't link to it. Sickening slaughter.

who've been up against him. He's a murderer, a treaty breaker, a liar, a cold blooded killer, one who tortures those who stand up to him, and it's worked.

That doesn't sound like a rational human being. That sounds like a psychopath that will go to any length to oppress and harm others. Anyone who would support such a person, then too must also either be delusional or equally harbor similar dark thoughts. Scary.
