“Russia is the aggressor here and I think we’ve seen here at the Pentagon — we certainly see clear evidence that the Russian military is committing war crimes,” Kirby told “Fox and Friends” on Tuesday.

We believe it is important that the investigation process continues. We will contribute to that. But it is clear, that relations with Russia are not in a high position and should not be given to the unjustified and illegal aggression of Russia against the people of Ukraine.

Kirby’s comments come after the United States condemned Russia for “war crimes” amid its war with Ukraine. The convictions represent a shift in tone for US officials, as photos and reports show, among other things, Russian attacks on civilians.

The United Nations Human Rights Office on Tuesday 2,510 civilian casualties were reported Since the start of the invasion of Ukraine on February 24, including 953 dead and 1,557 wounded. However, she believes the actual numbers are “much higher”.
