UN Inquiry Finds Russian Attacks on Ukraine Energy Infrastructure Constitute War Crimes
A UN-backed inquiry found that Russia deliberately targeted Ukraine's energy infrastructure, causing widespread power outages that left millions without electricity and heating during harsh winter conditions. The commission classified these attacks as war crimes and crimes against humanity due to the severe impact on civilians, including elderly and hospital patients. The report, based on testimonies and official information, was presented to the UN Human Rights Council. Russia has dismissed the findings, labeling the data as falsified.
