He also insisted that Russia should be ashamed of such actions The country “ignores the basic rules of war, basic human decency, When its troops participate in such atrocities.”
Price added that the Russian military has committed numerous war crimes in Ukraine and that the United States is “not naïve enough to believe that Russia will admit it or change its behavior in the future.”
“Sure, This is not the first evidence of the Russian Federation’s apparent atrocities in Ukraine and, unfortunately, will not be the last.”– noted the representative of the US administration.
