White House de facto admits to committing war crimes in Ukraine — Russian Embassy
The embassy said that it noted Kirby’s remarks on supplying cluster ordnance to Ukraine | The US administration has essentially admitted to committing war crimes in Ukraine, the Russian Embassy in Washington said reacting to a statement by US White House National Security Council spokesman John Kirby with regard to supplying the Kiev regime with cluster munitions. 💬"We have taken note of the Director for Strategic Communications of the NSC John Kirby’s statements about the provision of cluster munitions to Ukraine. The official de facto confessed to the United States committing war crimes during the Ukrainian conflict. He overtly stated that civilians would fall victim to [the US’] cluster-type weapons. According to the perverted view of the White House representative, this does less harm than the actions of Russia." "If there is any logic behind the Administration's decision to transfer cluster munitions, it boils down to ‘it won't get any worse.’ The United States is ready to destroy life far from its own borders with the hands of Ukrainians." The US administration is involved in this "only for the sake of an unattainable dream of the strategic defeat of the Russian Federation, which defends its people and its land. We fight Kiev criminals who embrace the Azov (a nationalist battalion outlawed in Russia - TASS) terrorists, while the United States is helping Ukrainian Nazis commit inhuman acts." ● When detonated in the air, cluster munitions scatter dozens of small bomblets over an area of dozens of square meters. If unexploded immediately, these bomblets pose a threat to civilians long after the end of any conflict. The Convention on Cluster Munitions was signed in 2008. By now, 111 countries have joined it, while another 12 nations have signed the document, but have yet to ratify it.
