Washington: The United States has declared Russian President Vladimir Putin a “war criminal” after intensifying attacks in Ukraine. The US Congress unanimously passed a resolution to this effect. The war began on February 24, but Russian forces have not been able to capture any of Ukraine’s 10 major cities.
The resolution was introduced by Republican Senator Lindsay Graham. Senators from both parties supported the resolution against Russia and Putin. The resolution calls on the International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague and other countries to encourage an investigation into the Russian occupation of Ukraine as a war crime.
“Putin should not be held accountable for his atrocities against the Ukrainian people. That’s why Democrats and Republicans joined hands, “said Chuck Schumer, Democrat’s leader before the vote. Russia calls the occupation of Ukraine a “special military mission.” The United States has imposed sanctions on Russia and its leaders, including Putin, over the war in Ukraine.
