The US diplomat added that the information included “many credible reports of attacks and indiscriminate attacks that deliberately targeted civilians, as well as other atrocities.”

He explained that the Russian forces destroyed residential buildings, schools, hospitals, vital infrastructure, civilian cars, shopping centers and ambulances, leaving thousands of innocent civilians dead and wounded.
