Referring to the aircraft support the
U.S. plans to provide through Poland, Blinken said that they are working with Poland on this issue, “We support the Ukrainians by providing MiGs and SU’s, planes that they can fly. But we also want to see if we can help them bridge any gaps that may arise in Poland’s security. We are currently actively talking about it.”
WAR CRIMES ALLEGATIONS AGAINST RUSSIA
Referring to the International Criminal Court’s investigation into Russia’s alleged war crimes in Ukraine, Blinken said, “We have seen very reliable reports of deliberate attacks on civilians that would constitute war crimes. We have seen very reliable reports about the use of some weapons. What we’re doing now is documenting all this, putting it all together. To ensure that we can support everything they do while investigating whether war crimes have been committed by the relevant institutions and organizations. So we’re looking at these reports right now. They’re very reliable. We document everything.”
