War Crimes and Crimes Against Humanity
Russian forces in Ukraine have committed and continue to commit war crimes and crimes against humanity in the occupied regions of Ukraine, in violation of international law and basic human decency. Russian crimes in Ukraine constitute genocide and ethnic cleansing, with Russia’s stated war aims including the elimination of Ukrainians as a separate country, language, culture, and people.
At least 11 civilians were killed (including five children) and another 10 injured by a Russian missile strike on residential housing in Rivne, part of Russia’s ongoing Terror Bombing campaign. The intentional targeting of civilians is a violation of the laws of war.
Overview
Russia launched another wave of missile (see above) and drone attacks on Ukrainian cities as part of its ongoing Terror Bombing campaign, with 75% of the drones intercepted.
Hopes for a deal in Congress including tens of billions of dollars in aid for Ukraine rose after Senate and House negotiators agreed on overall government spending levels for 2024 and appear to have made progress on Ukraine/Israel/border funding.
