All those involved in massacres and torture must be held accountable, the State Department insisted.
Russian atrocities in the occupied territories of Ukraine, especially in Izyum, are war crimes. All those involved in the commission of massacres and torture on the territory of Ukraine must be held accountable. This was announced on Friday, September 16, by US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken, writes CNN.
“We are all working to collect evidence and document the atrocities committed. And in many cases it amounts to war crimes, which, in my opinion, is the right way to consider this issue,” the head of the Department of State said.
Blinken emphasized that work is now being done to ensure that the Russian occupiers are held accountable.
“Whether through the process in Ukraine itself, or through the mechanisms of the OSCE, the UN, the International Criminal Court – all this together, I think, will be very important to ensure that the perpetrators of atrocities, as well as those who gave the orders, are responsible.”, added the US Secretary of State.
Recall that Zelensky spoke about the atrocities of the occupiers in the Kharkiv region and compared the region’s tragedy to Bucha.
In the liberated Izyum, Kharkov region, people’s graves were found.
