Russia-Ukraine war: Russian military targeting civilians, residential areas, US says
Russia has been accused of targeting civilians and residential areas in Ukraine, according to the US.
The US has accused Russia of targeting civilians and residential areas in Ukraine, as the war between the two countries continues to escalate.
The US State Department said in a statement on Tuesday that Russia has been "deliberately targeting civilians and civilian infrastructure" in Ukraine, and that this is a "violation of international law."
The statement said that Russia has been using "indiscriminate" weapons, such as cluster munitions and thermobaric weapons, in populated areas.
The statement also said that Russia has been targeting Ukrainian hospitals, schools, and other civilian infrastructure.
The US has called on Russia to stop targeting civilians and civilian infrastructure, and to abide by international law.
The Russian government has denied targeting civilians, and has said that it is only targeting military targets.
However, there is mounting evidence that Russia has been targeting civilians and civilian infrastructure in Ukraine.
The UN has said that it has received reports of "indiscriminate" attacks on civilians and civilian infrastructure in Ukraine, and that it is "deeply concerned" about the situation.
The International Criminal Court has also said that it is investigating allegations of war crimes in Ukraine.
