President Biden's administration is sending mixed messages about alleged Russian war crimes during the ongoing invasion of Ukraine.
Asked Friday whether a reported strike on a Ukrainian nuclear power plant would constitute a war crime to the U.S. government, White House press secretary Jen Psaki said there were still internal investigations underway.
"We have an internal review that's been ongoing prior to last night to collect evidence and data of the targeting of civilians, of the reported use of horrific weapons of war on the ground in Ukraine," Psaki said.
"That's an ongoing process. We have not made conclusions. It's a legal review and a process that goes through the administration."
The U.S. Embassy to Ukraine, however, indicated Friday morning that the Russians had committed a war crime.
"It is a war crime to attack a nuclear power plant. Putin's shelling of Europe's largest nuclear plant takes his reign of terror one step further," the embassy tweeted.
