Russian forces have committed apparent war crimes and crimes against humanity, Human Rights Watch stated in its annual World Report.
Russia's war in Ukraine has wrought a devastating toll on civilians and shattered civilian life in much of the country, the New York-based human rights watchdog said in its World Report 2023, released on Thursday.
Since the invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2022, Russian forces have carried out indiscriminate attacks on civilian areas and repeatedly targeted energy infrastructure. Millions of civilians remain without electricity, water, and heat as winter temperatures plunged. More than 14 million Ukrainians have been forced to flee their homes.
