Vladimir Putin’s forces are resorting to “mass extermination of civilians” after his “Blitzkrieg” plan to capture swathes of Ukraine within days failed, one of the country’s top diplomats said on Monday.
As horrific footage, photos and reports were coming out of Ukraine of families, children and other civilians being killed by Russian attacks, Ukraine’s ambassador to London Vadym Prystaiko asked Britain to keep sending more military equipment including anti-tank weapons which he stressed were being used to destroy Russian tank columns.
