The U.S. will likely take additional actions against Russia “very soon”, State Department spokesperson Ned Price said during an appearance on MSNBC’s “The Sunday Show with Jonathan Capehart”.
Price was asked about Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s request for G7 nations to step up pressure following news of the situation in Bucha, Ukraine, where images have emerged of dead civilians left in the streets in the wake of Russia’s retreat from the city, per CNN.
Price called the images “heart-wrenching”, later adding, “we have already assessed that Russia’s forces have committed war crimes”.
“What we’re doing, we are collecting information. One, to shine a spotlight on precisely what they’re doing, but two, to ensure that all of those who have perpetrated these atrocities and all of those who ordered these atrocities are held to account. That’s our mission”, - he said.
