Washington — An international investigation has found grim new evidence of war crimes committed by Russian forces in Ukraine, identifying cases of direct targeting of civilians, torture, rape and forced deportations. 

The Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE), a regional security organization, issued a report Thursday detailing "clear patterns of serious violations of international humanitarian law" committed mainly by the Russian army.
