Global outrage grows over Putin’s merciless attacks in Ukraine

LA Times  

A woman walks her dog amid the rubble of a shopping center in Kyiv, Ukraine, on Monday. “This is a war crime, a massive war crime, what’s happening in Mariupol,” the European Union’s top diplomat, Josep Borrell, said Monday in Brussels. Zelensky, in bleak remarks reported Monday by a Ukrainian public broadcaster, said his government and people “cannot fulfill Russia’s ultimatum,” because it would mean “we must all be destroyed.” “For example, give away Kharkiv, Mariupol, or Kyiv — neither the people of Kharkiv, nor the people of Mariupol, nor the people of Kyiv, nor I, the president, can do that,” he said. The capital is Russia’s “primary military objective,” said the analysis from Britain’s Ministry of Defense, which estimated Russian forces to be about 15 miles outside Kyiv. “They would not have any agreements to commit to.” Also Monday, Russia’s ministry of foreign affairs said the U.S. envoy in Moscow, John Sullivan, had been summoned and warned that Biden’s depiction last week of Putin as guilty of war crimes had taken relations with Washington to “the verge of rupture.” Biden, answering a reporter’s question, said he thought the Russian leader was a war criminal.
