White House accuses Russia of killing civilians in Syria

The White House has accused Russia of killing Syrian civilians in one of its most direct condemnations of Moscow’s wartime conduct. Defying a 30-day United Nations ceasefire agreement, Russia went on to “kill innocent civilians under the false auspices of counterterrorism operations”, the White House said in a statement. “This is the same combination of lies and indiscriminate force that Russia and the Syrian regime used to isolate and destroy Aleppo in 2016, where thousands of civilians were killed,” the statement said.
