US VP Harris embraces call for war crimes probe of Russia

WARSAW, 11 March 2022, (TON): US Vice President Kamala Harris embraced calls for an international war crimes investigation of Russia over its invasion of Ukraine and the bombing of civilians, including a maternity hospital.

Speaking alongside Polish President Andrzej Duda at a press conference in Warsaw, Harris expressed outrage over the bombing of the maternity hospital and scenes of bloodied pregnant women being evacuated, as well as other attacks on civilians.

She stopped short of directly accusing Russia of having committed war crimes.

Harris said “absolutely there should be an investigation, and we should all be watching.”

Duda, for his part, said “it is obvious to us that in Ukraine Russians are committing war crimes.”

He added that in his view the invasion was “bearing the features of a genocide it aims at eliminating and destroying a nation.”

Harris praised the Polish people for their generosity for taking in nearly 1.5 million refugees since Russia invaded Ukraine last month.
