U.S. Accuses Russia of "Barbarism" and War Crimes in Syria
(Washington Post) Louisa Loveluck and Liz Sly - U.S. Ambassador to the UN Samantha Power accused Russia of "barbarism" and war crimes in Syria at an emergency Security Council meeting on Sunday after Moscow's blistering airstrikes on Aleppo. "Russia and Assad are bombing the humanitarian convoys, hospitals and first responders who are trying desperately to keep people alive," Power said. Hundreds of civilians have been killed in east Aleppo over the past week by white phosphorus, cluster munitions, barrel bombs and "bunker busters."
