Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky accused Russian troops of indiscriminately killing civilians “for their pleasure” in an emotionally charged address to the United Nations Security Council
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky accused Russian troops of indiscriminately killing civilians"for their pleasure" in an emotionally-charged address to the United Nations Security Council on Tuesday, a day after he visited the Kyiv suburb of Bucha, where shocking images of bodies in the streets emerged over the weekend.
Zelensky described the aftermath of Russia's retreat from Bucha in horrifying detail, describing entire families killed, people with their throats slashed, women raped and killed in front of their children. He said Russia's actions were no different from those of a terror group, except that Russia is a permanent member of the UN Security Council. In Bucha, bodies strewn across the streets and in basements were found by human rights groups and documented by independent journalists.
