NYT, Pentagon reins Biden on evidence of Russian atrocities

The Pentagon is blocking the Biden administration from providing evidence of Russian atrocities to the International Court in The Hague, writes the New York Times.

The heads of the American defense fear that this mechanism could constitute a precedent and that in the future it could push other countries, starting with Russia itself, to put the United States under investigation. President Biden, according to the New York newspaper, has not yet decided what to do. The investigation in which Washington is cooperating concerns war crimes committed by the Russians in Ukraine and which is being dealt with by Karim Khan, head of the International Criminal Court's prosecutor's office.
