The series of attacks by Russian forces on the Ukrainian town of Bucha “doesn’t look far short of genocide”, Boris Johnson declared today.
The Prime Minister used the word for the first time as he condemned scenes that have emerged of civilians killed and mass graves dug in the town near Kyiv.
Ukraine's Foreign Minister said on Monday that Ukrainian women "had been raped before being killed and the Russians tried to set [them] on fire to hide the traces of their crimes.”
