Vice President Kamala Harris says Washington has determined that Russia has committed crimes against humanity in Ukraine.
Vice President of the United States Kamala Harris speaks at the Munich Security Conference in Munich, Saturday, Feb. 18, 2023. The 59th Munich Security Conference is taking place from Feb. 17 to Feb. 19, 2023 at the Bayerischer Hof Hotel in Munich.
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. A determination of crimes against humanity goes a step further, indicating that attacks against civilians are being carried out in a widespread and systematic manner.“Russian authorities have forcibly deported hundreds of thousands of people, from Ukraine to Russia, including children,” Harris said.
“In the case of Russia’s actions in Ukraine, we have examined the evidence, we know the legal standards, and there is no doubt,” she said. “These are crimes against humanity.” Russia’s nearly yearlong invasion of Ukraine, has dominated discussions at the Munich conference, an annual gathering of security and defense officials from around the world. Harris told the assembled participants: “Let us all agree — on behalf of all the victims, both known and unknown, justice must be served.”Advertisement
Harris’ audience Saturday didn’t include any Russian officials. Conference organizers decided not to invite them this year. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy urged Western allies in a video address to the Munich conference on Friday to quicken their military support for Ukraine, declaring that “it’s speed that life depends on.”Kuleba voiced confidence that Ukraine would eventually receive fighter jets from its partners, despite their current reluctance.
