Blinken: Bucha atrocities a ‘deliberate campaign’ of death by Russia
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleUS Secretary of State Antony Blinken accuses Russia of a “deliberate campaign to kill, to torture, to rape” in Bucha, Ukraine. The comments are among the strongest yet from the West after pictures of mass graves and streets strewn with dead civilians emerged from suburbs around Kyiv after Russian forces retreated.
He says atrocities there were “not the random acts of a rogue unit.”
He adds that allies are determined to make sure those responsible are brought to justice and to increase pressure on Russia while backing Ukraine.
He makes the comments in Maryland before boarding a plane to Brussels for a NATO meeting.
