The United States will hold Moscow accountable for war crimes, the White House said, after the Russian military attacked Ukrainian cities with waves of kamikaze drones, killing at least four people in an apartment building in Kyiv. In recent days, Russia has maintained a high rate of long-range strikes against targets in Ukraine, including with Iranian drones. Tehran denies supplying drones to Moscow, while the Kremlin has not commented. In another move, Russia has started sending heavy combat equipment to Belarus, the Ministry of Defense in Minsk said. According to analysts, Moscow could once again use Belarus as a platform to launch an offensive on northern Ukraine, just as it did at the beginning of the invasion launched on February 24. This could, however, also be a tactic to force the Ukrainian army to deploy its troops in the north of the country, in order to weaken its potential in counter-offensives carried out on other fronts.
