On Friday, the UN accused the Russian army of actions “that could constitute war crimes” in Ukraine following the February 24 invasion, including indiscriminate bombardments that resulted in the death of civilians and the destruction of schools and hospitals.
“The Russian armed forces indiscriminately bombed inhabited areas, killed civilians and destroyed hospitals, schools and other civilian infrastructure, in actions that could amount to war crimes,” said Ravina Shamdasani, spokesperson for the Geneva-based UN High Commissioner for Human Rights.
