Western powers have vowed to hold Russia accountable for the killing of civilians in the town of Bucha and other areas around Kyiv, accusing Moscow of a “terrible” war crime.
Officials in Ukraine said that troops had found civilian corpses with bound hands, gunshot wounds to the head, and showing signs of torture, after Russian soldiers withdrew from the outskirts of the country’s capital. The Ukrainian government has accused Russia’s armed forces of carrying out a “massacre” and “genocide”.
