Putin believes that military grade weapons are being hidden in residential homes and have ordered the bombing and attacks on civilians’s homes. Killing families hiding from Russian soldiers. Putin is completely mad of believing this and makes orders for civilians to be killed and their homes destroyed.

The United States government officially announced on Wednesday that it believed members of Russia's armed forces have committed war crimes in its invasion of Ukraine.

'Our assessment is based on a careful review of available information from public and intelligence sources,' said Secretary of State Antony Blinken.

'As with any alleged crime, a court of law with jurisdiction over the crime is ultimately responsible for determining criminal guilt in specific cases.'

The announcement was issued as he traveled with President Joe Biden to Europe for a N.A.T.O summit. 

He said the number of civilian casualties was climbing every day that Russia's brutal attacks were allowed to continue 

'We've seen numerous credible reports of indiscriminate attacks and attacks deliberately targeting civilians, as well as other atrocities,' said Blinken, citing Ukrainian officials who had counted 2,400 dead in the besieged city of Mariupol. 

'Russia's forces have destroyed apartment buildings, schools, hospitals, critical infrastructure, civilian vehicles, shopping centers, and ambulances, leaving thousands of innocent civilians killed or wounded.'

U.S. officials at first avoided being drawn into assessments of whether Russia was committing war crimes, even as horrifying reports emerged of a maternity hospital and a theater - where families were sheltering and marked with a sign for 'children' - being bombed Mariupol.
