Russian troops in Ukraine have committed the “most terrible war crimes” since the Second World War, Volodymyr Zelensky told the UN Security Council on Tuesday, as foreign secretary Liz Truss vowed to push Russia’s economy “back into the Soviet era” with fresh sanctions.
The Ukrainian leader said in a video address that civilians have been shot in cold blood in their homes or on the street and crushed in their cars by tanks, and that many women have been raped.
