“This includes deliberate, indiscriminate, and disproportionate attacks against the civilian population and elements of the civilian infrastructure, abuses of civilians and prisoners of war and efforts to cover up these crimes,” US Ambassador-at-Large for Global Criminal Justice Beth Van Schaack explained.
Beth Van Schaack also mentioned the “construction of a vast transnational infrastructure of filtration operations, to which thousands of Ukrainian citizens have now been subjected,” which is a violation of international law.
“There are compelling reports describing physical and psychological abuse, including summary executions, as part of the operations and the forcible transfer and deportation, including thousands of Ukrainian children, who’ve been abducted and forcibly adopted by families within Russia,” said US Ambassador-at-Large for Global Criminal Justice.
