WASHINGTON (AA) - The discovery of new mass graves in eastern Ukraine is another jarring reminder of the Kremlin's legacy in the war-torn nation, Secretary of State Antony Blinken charged on Friday.
"This is part, horrifically, of the continuing and ongoing story. Whenever we see the Russian tide recede from the parts of Ukraine that it's occupied, we see what's left in its wake," Blinken told reporters at the State Department during a joint press conference with his Jordian counterpart.
"It's hugely important that even as the Ukrainians do everything they can to take back the land that's been seized from them by Russia and its aggression, that at the same time we're all working to build the evidence and document the atrocities that have been committed," he added.
