Secretary of State Antony Blinken said Thursday that he believes Russian forces are committing war crimes in Ukraine, citing the reported murder of civilians and shelling of non-military targets by invading forces.“Intentionally targeting civilians is a war crime,” Blinken told reporters. “After all the destruction of the past few weeks, I find it difficult to conclude that the Russians are doing otherwise.”Blinken specifically called out Russian troops for intentionally bombing a theater in the southern city of Mariupol where hundreds of civilians, including children, were sheltering. He also noted a brutal shooting in the northern city of Chernihiv, where Russian forces gunned down at least 10 Ukrainian citizens standing in line for bread.
