Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky hit out at Russia in his daily address on Sunday night (April 3) over the reported torture and killing of his nation's civilians in cities including Bucha. The president was furious with the "concentrated evil" being carried out in Ukraine and directly addressed troops' mothers amid claims of looting and rape carried out by the Russian army.
"Murderers. Torturers. Rapists. Looters. Who call themselves the army. And who deserve only death after what they did," he raged. "I want every mother of every Russian soldier to see the bodies of the killed people in Bucha, in Irpin, in Hostomel. What did they do? Why were they killed?
He continued: "Even if you raised looters, how did they also become butchers? You couldn't be unaware of what's inside your children. You couldn't overlook that they are deprived of everything human. No soul. No heart. They killed deliberately and with pleasure."
