"Ukrainian citizens told 60 Minutes on Sunday about the unimaginable war crimes they have endured during the three years since Russia attacked their country, including the kidnapping of children and the indiscriminate slaughter of civilians in small towns and villages. Correspondent Scott Pelley reported Ukrainian prosecutors have documented more than 178,000 war crimes that are being investigated. They're killing civilians, Natalia Tenytska told the program."
"Pelley told viewers that, of all the war crimes alleged against Russia, dictator Vladimir Putin only faces one arrest warrant: for his campaign to abduct Ukrainian children. They're being kidnapped. They're being subjected to Russification, to military training, Van Schaack said. They're forced to deny their Ukrainian roots. And ultimately, they're often put up for adoption or placed in foster homes in Russia."
"CBS showed footage of civilians walking the streets and who were in church who were suddenly rocked when a warhead traveling at 2,000 miles per hour hit the city. Beth Van Schaack, who served as the U.S. Ambassador-at-Large for Global Criminal Justice for three years during President Joe Biden's administration, said Russia is routinely attacking towns with no discernible military objectives. Those attacks, she continued, seem to be calculated to make as much destruction as possible and to terrorize the civilian population."
Ukrainian citizens described unimaginable war crimes endured during three years of Russian attack, including widespread kidnapping of children and indiscriminate slaughter of civilians. Ukrainian prosecutors have documented more than 178,000 alleged war crimes under investigation. Russian strikes have killed dozens in single incidents, such as the Palm Sunday attack in Sumy where over 30 people died and civilians were struck while in church and on the streets. U.S. legal experts say Russia routinely attacks towns with no discernible military objectives, aiming to maximize destruction and terrorize civilians. Russian forces have allegedly kidnapped children for Russification, military training, forced denial of Ukrainian roots, and placement in Russian adoptive or foster homes.
