news of the day
Vladimir Putin wants to use winter as "a weapon of war" against Ukraine.
Gathered in Bucharest on Tuesday, the member countries of NATO castigated the attitude of Russia in Ukraine.
Jens Stoltenberg, Secretary General of the Atlantic Alliance, did not mince his words.
He denounced "deliberate attacks" against civilian infrastructure to deprive the country of heat, electricity and water, before estimating that Russia's goal was "to inflict as much suffering as possible on Ukrainian civilians ".
On the sidelines of the NATO meeting, Germany, which chairs the G7, convened a meeting on Tuesday afternoon on the energy crisis caused by the war in Ukraine.
Current targeted attacks on power and heating supplies 'in order to keep people in their apartments for a winter when temperatures could drop to -30°C' are 'a terrible war crime', German minister argues of Justice Marco Buschmann.
As a reminder, France had made similar comments after massive Russian strikes against energy infrastructure last week in several major cities, including the capital kyiv.
French President Emmanuel Macron said on Twitter that "any strike against civilian infrastructure constitutes a war crime and cannot go unpunished".
