Canadian PM Trudeau Accuses Putin of Deliberately Committing War Crimes
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Sunday said Russian President Vladimir Putin is “systemically targeting civilians” and “deliberately committing” war crimes, as Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine progresses through its sixth week.
Asked during an appearance on CNN’s “State of the Union” if he believes Russia is committing a genocide in Ukraine, Trudeau told co-anchor Jake Tapper that images of the acts carried out in Ukraine are “horrific.”
“The images are horrific, the stories we’re hearing and we have been hearing from Ukrainian Canadians, but through social media as well, of what’s going on,” Trudeau said.
