综合美国有线电视新闻网（CNN）、英国广播公司（BBC）报道，针对俄罗斯部队在乌克兰的行径，美国总统拜登昨（12）日首度指责俄罗斯在乌克兰进行”种族灭绝”（genocide）。他在爱阿华州首府狄蒙（Des Moines）的停机坪上表示：”我称之为种族灭绝，因为愈来愈明显，普京试着消除甚至只是当乌克兰人的想法。”

"Yes, I called it genocide because it's become clearer and clearer that Putin is just trying to wipe out the idea of even being Ukrainian," President Biden tells reporters, saying more evidence has emerged and calling it "a horrible thing that the Russians have done in Ukraine."
