“In the past few days, Russia has increased their strikes on civilian infrastructure, power generation, and dams. Russia has deliberately struck civilian infrastructure with the purpose of harming civilians. They have targeted the elderly, the women, and the children of Ukraine,” he explained. “Indiscriminate and deliberate attacks on civilian targets is a war crime in the international rules of war.
