Zelenskyy calls on the U.N. to reform their system and have Russia 'brought to peace immediately'
— Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy spoke Tuesday to U.N. Security Council diplomats outraged by growing evidence that Russian forces deliberately killed civilians, many of them shot in yards, streets and homes, and their bodies left in the open.," Zelenskyy told the Security Council."But the world has yet to see what Russia has done in other regions.""Russian troops are deliberately destroying Ukrainian cities to ashes with artillery and airstrikes.
Next to a church, Patta and her team saw a hastily dug mass grave — one of several in Bucha. The government said nearly 300 bodies had been discovered in the small town. The Ukrainian military released video of what it called a basement torture chamber, showing a line of people with their hands tied and gunshot wounds to the head. A man gestures at a mass grave in the town of Bucha, northwest of the Ukrainian capital Kyiv, April 3, 2022.
The dead witnessed by the news agency's journalists also included bodies wrapped in black plastic, piled on one end of the mass grave in a Bucha churchyard. Many of those victims had been shot in cars or killed in explosions trying to flee the city. With the morgue full and the cemetery impossible to reach, the churchyard was the only place to keep the dead, Father Andrii Galavin said.
German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock said the images from Bucha reveal the"unbelievable brutality of the Russian leadership and those who follow its propaganda."
