U.S. Undersecretary of State Uzra Zeya told a U.N. Security Council meeting on strengthening accountability and justice for serious violations of international law that in nearly 100 days the world has seen Russian forces bomb maternity hospitals, train stations, apartment buildings and homes and kill civilians cycling down the street.

“We’ve received credible reports of Russian forces torturing and committing execution style killings of people with their hands bound behind their back. We’ve received reports of women and girls being raped, some publicly, and children taken away into Russia and put up for adoption. And we know that Russian forces continue to deny safe passage to civilians fleeing violence, and to humanitarian organizations trying to reach those in need.

The United States is working with its allies to support a broad range of international investigations into atrocities in Ukraine. Biden administration has a message for Russia’s political and military leaders: The world is watching you, and you will be held accountable”, - she said.
