Strasbourg, France, 19 October 2022 (dpa/MIA) - European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen called Russian strikes on civilian infrastructure in Ukraine "war crimes." "Yesterday we saw again Russia's targeted attacks against civilian infrastructure, and this is marking a new chapter in an already very cruel war," von der Leyen said on Wednesday in Strasbourg addressing the European Parliament. "These are war crimes," she said. "Targeted attacks on civilian infrastructure with the clear aim to cut off men, women, children of water, electricity and heating with the winter coming, these are acts of pure terror," von der Leyen noted. The commission president also reiterated the European Union's support for Ukraine "for as long as it takes."
