Germany Condemns Russia's War Crimes in Ukraine Over Winter Attacks

Germany accused Russia of committing war crimes in Ukraine as Moscow’s forces pound the war-battered nation’s energy infrastructure, leaving vast parts of Kyiv and other communities without heating and water in frigid temperatures. Urging Ukraine’s allies to re-focus on Russia’s war as it approaches its four-year mark, Steffen Meyer, a deputy spokesman for Chancellor Friedrich Merz ’s government, said Germany condemned “in the strongest terms” the latest barrage of missile and drone strikes. The Kremlin’s attacks have hit residential buildings and crippled basic services as civilians struggle to stay warm.
