Vladimir Putin has been warned over his “crimes against humanity” perpetrated in Ukraine in a scathing speech given by US Vice President Kamala Harris. Leaning on her career as a prosecutor, she said the United States had “examined the evidence” and determined Russia was guilty of “crimes against humanity”.
The Vice President vowed to hold guilty Russians and their superiors accountable for crimes including execution-style killings, rape, torture and forceful deportations, including against children.
She referenced bodies lying in the street in the Ukrainian town of Bucha following a massacre there and a sexual assault of a four-year-old girl by a Russian soldier which she called “barbaric and inhumane”.
“Their actions are an assault on our common values, an attack on our common humanity,” the vice president added.
