There is mounting evidence of atrocities committed by Russian forces in Ukraine, including accounts of sexual violence. Yet the Kremlin continues to deny targeting civilians. The UK supports Int'l Criminal Court investigation of war crimes. Those responsible must be held to account.
Throughout the illegal invasion of Ukraine, the Kremlin has continually lied about atrocities committed by the Russian military. Sadly, we expect more lies about atrocities in Mariupol. The UK & our partners will hold those responsible to account via the Int'l Criminal Court.
Mariupol has been bombarded by Russia since day 1 of the invasion. Throughout its assault, the Kremlin lied about targeting civilians. Today a once thriving city is in ruins. The UK and its allies will help the Int'l Criminal Court investigation to hold those responsible to account.
There are countless reports of war crimes committed in Ukraine, despite Russian assurances of not harming civilians. Today we are joining Int'l Criminal Court and European Commission in The Hague to discuss accountability for crimes committed in Ukraine. 🔗 gov.uk/government/new… #UAC
