CNN
Secretary of State Antony Blinken said Sunday that the US has seen reports of Russian abuses in Ukraine that "would constitute a war crime" and that the Biden administration is committed to supporting investigations into the country's actions.
"We've seen very credible reports of deliberate attacks on civilians, which would constitute a war crime. We've seen very credible reports about the use of certain weapons," Blinken told CNN's Jake Tapper on "State of the Union." The secretary appeared to be referring to Russia's suspected use of cluster bombs in dense areas with many civilians.
"And what we're doing right now is documenting all this, putting it all together, looking at it and making sure that as people and the appropriate organizations and institutions investigate whether war crimes have been or are being committed, that we can support whatever they're doing," Blinken said. "So right now, we're looking at these reports. They're very credible and we're documenting everything."
