VLADIMIR PUTIN IS UNANIMOUSLY CONDEMNED AS A WAR CRIMINAL BY THE US SENATE


The US Senate unanimously passed a resolution condemning Russian President Vladimir Putin as a war criminal on Tuesday, a rare show of bipartisanship in the highly divided Congress.

The resolution, introduced by Republican Senator Lindsey Graham and backed by senators from both parties, urged the International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague and other nations to focus any investigation of war crimes committed by the Russian military during Russia's invasion of Ukraine on the Russian military.

In a speech on the Senate floor ahead of the vote, Democratic Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said, "All of us in this chamber stood together, with Democrats and Republicans, to say that Vladimir Putin cannot escape justice for the horrors done against the Ukrainian people."

Russia's efforts are being described as a "special military operation" aimed at demilitarising and "denazifying" Ukraine. Putin has frequently referred to the country as a US colony with a puppet Government and no history of self-government.

Following its incursion, which began on February 24 and is the greatest assault on a European state since 1945, Moscow has failed to conquer any of the country's ten main cities.
