Russian drone attacks on civilians in Ukraine are war crimes, UN report concludes
Rights commission inquiry focused on south-east of country found drones targeted gathering points and critical infrastructure
A UN rights commission has concluded that Russia’s drone attacks on civilians in south-eastern Ukraine constitute crimes against humanity and war crimes.
In a new report published this week, the commission said Russian forces, operating under a centralised command, had systematically used drones to “intentionally target civilians and civilian objects and cause harm and destruction”.
