U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris said Saturday that Washington has determined that Russia has committed crimes against humanity in Ukraine, and insisted that justice must be served to the perpetrators.
Speaking at the Munich Security Conference, Harris said that the international community has both a moral and strategic interest in pursuing those crimes, pointing to a danger of other authoritarian governments taking advantage if international rules are undermined.
Russian forces have pursued a widespread and systemic attack against a civilian population gruesome acts of murder, torture, rape, and deportation, Harris said. She also cited execution-style killings, beatings, and electrocution.
Russian authorities have forcibly deported hundreds of thousands of people, from Ukraine to Russia, including children, she added. They have cruelly separated children from their families.
The Biden administration formally determined last March that Russian troops had committed war crimes in Ukraine and said it would work with others to prosecute offenders.
