Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Monday called out Russian forces for their reported attacks of “agreed upon humanitarian corridors,” urging Russia to “stop these attacks immediately,” as the Biden administration continues its ongoing review of whether Russian aggression against civilians has reached the level of war crimes.

During a joint press conference with Latvian Foreign Minister Edgars Rinkēvičs, Blinken slammed Russia’s ongoing “unprovoked and unjustified invasion of Ukraine,” which began 12 days ago.
