BERLIN — Perpetrators of war crimes in Ukraine will be called to account, the Group of Seven most industrialized nations warns, condemning “the indiscriminate attacks on civilians” by Russian troops since the invasion began on February 24.
“Due to President [Vladimir] Putin’s unprovoked and shameful war, millions are forced to flee their homes; the destruction of infrastructure, hospitals, theatres and schools is ongoing,” the G7 foreign ministers say in a statement.
“Those responsible for war crimes, including indiscriminate use of weapons against civilians, will be held responsible,” they warn.
