The new determination of committing crimes against humanity goes one step further than committing war crimes, which the U.S. had already accused Russia of doing nearly a year ago.
Speaking at the Munich Security Conference, Harris said the international community has both a moral and a strategic interest in pursuing those crimes, pointing to a danger of other authoritarian governments taking advantage if international rules are undermined.
She also pointed to the attack in mid-March on a theater in the strategic port city of Mariupol where civilians had been sheltering, which killed hundreds, and to the images of civilians' bodies left on the streets of Bucha after the Russian pullback from the Kyiv area last spring. The president did not refer specifically to Harris’ remarks or name any countries that had provided agreements on Russian accountability.has dominated discussions at the Munich conference, an annual gathering of security and defense officials from around the world. Harris told the assembled participants: "Let us all agree — on behalf of all the victims, both known and unknown, justice must be served.
While Western officials defended arms supplies to Ukraine, China's top diplomat, Wang Yi, called for an end to the war through peace talks, saying Beijing was "deeply worried about the expansion and long-term effect of this war." Asked on the sidelines of the event about the U.S. determination of crimes against humanity, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba replied that "Russia waged a genocidal war against Ukrainians because they do not recognize our identity and they do not think we deserve to exist as a sovereign nation."
