Moscow has drawn up a list of Ukrainians to either assassinate or send to camps following a Russian invasion and military occupation, a senior US diplomat has told the United Nations.
In a letter to the international body, US Ambassador to the UN Bathsheba Crocker alleged that Russia has created a plan to either kill, inflict harm upon, or exile dissidents and minority groups living in Ukraine, in what she describes as a “human rights catastrophe.” The contents of the letter were first reported in the Washington Post on Sunday evening.
Addressed to UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Michelle Bachelet, the letter states that “disturbing information recently obtained by the US” reveals “human rights violations and abuses in the aftermath of a further invasion are being planned,” and stresses that the Ukrainian population could be subjected to “widespread human suffering” in the aftermath of a Russian offensive.
“Specifically, we have credible information that indicates Russian forces are creating lists of identified Ukrainians to be killed or sent to camps following a military occupation,” the letter claims.
