Pentagon impedes the transmission of US evidence of Russia's crimes in Hague - the media
About it reports The New York Times with reference to its own sources in the government. The US military leadership hinders assistance in investigating Russian crimes, because it is afraid to assist in pursuing Americans. At the same time, the rest of the administration, including intelligence services, the State Department and the Department of Justice, advocate the provision of Hague data. Media sources have said that Joe Biden had found himself in a dead end and has not found his exit so far.
The evidence is reported to investigate the ICS Chief Prosecutor of Karim Khan and contain information about the abduction of thousands of Ukrainian children and the intentional kissing of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation in civilian infrastructure. According to media sources, there are disputes over the US assistance of the International Court under closed doors.
US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin is opposed to the transmission of data, and even convened a meeting to discuss the situation. The American senator Lindsey Graham accused the US Defense Ministry of reluctance to relieve the restriction on the ISS. "The Ministry of Defense has opposed legislative changes - they were accepted by the vast majority - and now they are trying to undermine the letter and the spirit of the law.
It seems to me that the ministry is a problematic child, and the sooner we can transfer information into the hands of the ISS, the better it will be for the world," Graham said. A spokeswoman for the National Security Council, Adrieni Watson, did not comment on the opposition of the Pentagon of the exchange of evidence, but reported the support of the USA a number of investigations of military crimes of Russia.
She also stated that the government supports the prosecution of the perpetrators through the ISS. "The Russian forces carry out military crimes and crimes against humanity in Ukraine, and the Ukrainian people deserve justice. We are also working on the exposure of the atrocities of Russia in Ukraine so that the world can see what the Russian forces are doing," she said. The US is kept away from the ISS because they are concerned that the court will be able to persecute Americans.
The allies of the state and in general many democratic states have already joined the International Court of Justice. We will remind, on March 8 it became known that from the TV a statement of former US President Donald Trump was cut out about negotiations with the Kremlin. He confessed to an interview that he would agree to give Russia the "Russian -speaking regions" of Ukraine. The policy of the current leader of the country Joe Baiden Trump criticized.
