Pentagon says Moscow's deliberate targeting of Ukrainian energy grids is a war crime


Russia's deliberate targeting of energy infrastructure — unnecessarily increasing the suffering of civilians — amounts to war crimes. This continuing barbarity must be confronted.
Attacks on Ukraine's energy infrastructure are a direct consequence of the failure of the country's leadership to meaningfully engage in peace talks and mistaken belief they can defeat Russia on the battlefield. These attacks will stop once a more sober position is reached.
There is a 2% chance that Russia will be removed from the UN Security Council by 2024, according to the Metaculus prediction community.
