Ukraine breakfast briefing: Bucha 'mass killings' could be tip of iceberg, suggests Zelensky

The 'mass killing' of civilians in the city of Bucha could be the tip of the iceberg, Ukraine's president Volodomyr Zelensky has suggested.

The international media has reported seeing bodies scattered across the streets of the city, on the outskirts of Kyiv, after Russian troops withdrew from the area. Photos show some dead bodies with bound hands, and close-range gunshot wounds and signs of torture are also being reported.

Russia's Foreign Minister Serge Lavrov has claimed it is a “fake attack” and that the dead bodies were “staged”. However, in a speech released in the early hours of this morning, Mr Zelensky said: "There is ample evidence that it is Russian troops who destroy peaceful cities, abduct, torture, kill civilians."
