Zelenskyy’s appearance before the UN Security Council follows Ukrainian claims that hundreds of civilians were tortured and killed in Bucha by Russian troops.
"Anyone who has given criminal orders and carried out them by killing our people will be brought before the tribunal which should be similar to the Nuremberg tribunals," Zelenskyy said.
U.S. Ambassador Linda Thomas-Greenfield introduced the proposal to the United Nations Security Council, where Russia holds a permanent membership and wields the right to veto resolutions. She said Russia's membership on the council hurts its credibility,"undermines the entire UN and it is just plain wrong."U.S. Ambassador to the UN Linda Thomas-Greenfield speaks at the 11th emergency special session of the 193-member U.N. General Assembly on Russia's invasion of Ukraine, at the United Nations Headquarters in Manhattan, New York City, U.S., March 2, 2022.
"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. The reports are more than credible. The evidence is there for the world to see," Blinken said.
