- To justify its own actions, including supplying Ukraine.

Russian war crimes allegations in Ukraine have been branded as a “excuse” by Washington to deepen the conflict, according to Russia’s ambassador to the United States.
US Vice President Kamala Harris and US Secretary of State Antony Blinken both stated on Saturday that Washington had found evidence of Moscow committing crimes against humanity.
According to state news agency , Ambassador Anatoly Antonov responded by saying: “We consider such insinuations as an attempt, unprecedented in terms of its cynicism, to demonize Russia in the course of a hybrid war, unleashed against us. There is no doubt that the purpose of such attacks is to justify Washington’s own actions to fuel the Ukrainian crisis.”
The ambassador accused the US of saying one thing and acting “in the opposite direction” by supplying Ukraine with heavy armorment, intelligence and training. “How can we trust the West and try to come to any type of agreement after all these statements and actions?” the diplomat said.
Moreover, Anatoly Antonov charged that the US had “turned a blind eye” to the atrocities committed by the Zelenskyy administration, including “the horrifying scenes of the shooting of defenseless captive Soviet soldiers.”
Days before the anniversary of Moscow’s invasion, Harris spoke at the Munich Security Conference and cited evidence of indiscriminate Russian attacks that intentionally targeted civilians, such as the bombing of a maternity hospital that killed a pregnant woman and of a theatre in Mariupol that resulted in hundreds of deaths.
The vice president mentioned the horrifying pictures that came out of Bucha showing men and women being shot and left to fester in the streets as well as reports from the UN about a 4-year-old girl being sexually raped by a Russian soldier.
