Ukraine’s president showed a harrowing video of dead civilians to the UN Security Council Tuesday and called for “accountability” for apparent Russian atrocities, as fears grow that Moscow is preparing new offensives.
KYIV, Ukraine —
Despite the pressure, bombardments rocked the Kyiv area villages of Velyka Dymerka and Bogdanivka, where 12 people were killed by Russian firearms and artillery, Ukraine’s prosecutor general’s office said on Telegram. “Are you ready to close the UN” and abandon international law, the president asked. “If your answer is no, then you need to act immediately.”
“What we’ve seen in Bucha is not the random act of a rogue unit. It’s a deliberate campaign to kill, to torture, to rape, to commit atrocities,” US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said. The Kremlin has denied any civilian killings, claiming the images emerging from Bucha and other sites are fakes produced by Ukrainian forces, or that the deaths occurred after Russian soldiers pulled out.
Zelensky delivered a forceful rebuttal, airing a graphic, 90-second video of what he said were images from towns including Bucha, Irpin, Dymerka, and the besieged southern port of Mariupol.
