Milley: Attacks on civilian targets are war crime
BRUSSELS. Oct 12 (Interfax-Ukraine) – Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Mark Milley, states that Russia’s attacks on civilian targets are a war crime.
He said at the NATO headquarters in Brussels at a press conference after the meeting of the Contact Group in the Ramstein format on Wednesday that on the last few days, Russia had increased attacks on civilians, infrastructure, power plants. Russia deliberately hit the civilian infrastructure in order to harm civilians. They aimed at the elderly, women and children of Ukraine. Non–discriminatory and targeted attacks on civilian targets are a war crime in the international rules of war, he said.
Milley again noted that this war is a war of choice, a war that Russia has chosen. And, according to him, Russia is paying an extremely high price for this, a high price in human lives, human losses, weapons, materials, economy. Every day, he said, as this war continues, it costs Russia more and more, and the people of Russia are beginning to suffer.
