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.
No especially notable atrocities reported today.
Overview
The European Union appears to have set the stage for an effort to use Russian financial assets seized after the invasion to fund Ukraine’s defense and recovery, reportedly ordering banks with frozen Russian funds worth over $1 million to separate profits from the principal. This is in line with previous proposals to hand all profits generated from such assets to Ukraine while leaving the principal intact as a potential future reward for good Russian behavior.
Germany announced another $100 million aid package for Ukraine with unclear contents.
