미국은 우크라이나를 침공한 러시아군이 우크라이나에서 전쟁 범죄를 저지르고 있다고 결론내렸습니다. 민간인에 대한 무차별 공격이 그 이유인데요. 전쟁범죄 증거를 수집해온 미국의 작업은 막바지인 것 같습니다. 푸틴 대통령은 자국 내에서 고립되고 있다는 분석입니다.
U.S. Accuses Russia of Committing ‘War Crimes’ in Ukraine
The announcement, following Joe Biden saying he thinks Vladimir Putin is a ‘war criminal,’ is another example of heightened rhetoric from U.S. officials on Russia’s actions in Ukraine.

The U.S. on Wednesday accused Russia’s armed forces of committing “war crimes” in Ukraine – yet another instance of harsher language from American officials to describe Russian actions after nearly four weeks of war in Eastern Europe.
Biden Calls Putin a ‘War Criminal’

A statement released by Secretary of State Antony Blinken – citing attacks such as the recent shellings of a maternity hospital and a theater in the Ukrainian city of Mariupol – said the assessment is “based on a careful review of available information from public and intelligence sources,” while noting that a court with proper jurisdiction is “ultimately responsible” for determining guilt. The announcement comes as several Western intelligence agencies project that the war is poised to become even more violent.
“Russia’s forces have destroyed apartment buildings, schools, hospitals, critical infrastructure, civilian vehicles, shopping centers, and ambulances, leaving thousands of innocent civilians killed or wounded,” Blinken said. “Many of the sites Russia’s forces have hit have been clearly identifiable as in-use by civilians.”
Just last week, President Joe Biden said that he thinks Russian President Vladimir Putin is a “war criminal,” which prompted White House press secretary Jen Psaki to clarify that a formal process was underway at the State Department to determine whether that is the case. Blinken’s Wednesday statement mentions Putin by name several times but does not label him specifically as a war criminal. A senior U.S. defense official told reporters on background Wednesday that it can be assumed that Blinken’s statement “was certainly informed by information that’s been shared across the interagency.”
Pentagon press secretary John Kirby told reporters on Tuesday before the official assessment was released that the administration believes that there are “war crimes being conducted by the Russian armed forces” in Ukraine, noting that Russia has been relying more on long-range attacks due to frustration with a lack of progress on the ground. The senior defense official who spoke to reporters on Wednesday said that Russia has now launched more than 1,200 missiles on Ukraine.
Accusations of Russian war crimes from the international community had already been intensifying for weeks. International Criminal Court prosecutor Karim Khan said in early March that he will “immediately proceed with active investigations” into the situation in Ukraine after receiving referrals from 39 countries. The court’s investigation encompasses “any past and present allegations of war crimes, crimes against humanity or genocide” in Ukraine, dating back to 2013.
