President Zelensky fights back tears as he views the devastation caused by the assault of Bucha, which resulted in the deaths of 400 residents

EMOTIONAL As he viewed the devastation and mass graves at Bucha, President Zelensky said, “it’s really tough to discuss.”

The Ukrainian leader, 44, went on to say that Putin’s men perpetrated war crimes and genocide in the city, killing 400 residents.

And he stated that hundreds of Ukrainians had been slain and tortured, with limbs removed, women raped, and children murdered.

Last night, Russia was accused of being worse than ISIS when shocking images showed mass graves and innocent dead on the street.

Many civilians’ bodies were discovered in Bucha, northwest of Kyiv, with tied wrists, close-range gunshot wounds, and evidence of torture.

“It’s quite tough to say when you see what they’ve done here,” President Zelensky stated today, flanked by military soldiers.

“Every day, we discover individuals in barrels, cellars, and other unusual places. Some were strangled, while others were plainly tortured.

“These are war crimes, and the world will recognise them as genocide.”

“We know of thousands of individuals who have been slaughtered and tortured, with limbs removed, women raped, and children murdered.””

He stressed that the Russian Federation is making matters worse for itself by prolonging the meeting process, and committed to apply pressure and apprehend all war criminals.

President Zelensky also invited international leaders to witness the tragedy of Putin’s war for themselves.

On Sunday, at least 20 victims, some with their wrists bound, were discovered sprawled across a single street in the town of Bucha, near Kyiv.

So far, 410 people have been found dead in communities surrounding Kyiv, according to Ukrainian officials. At least 300 people were slain in Bucha alone, with 57 found in a mass grave.

A 14-year-old kid is among the deceased.

There have also been allegations of rapes and Kremlin troops “mutilating minors.”

Anatoly Fedoruk, the mayor of Bucha, stated that “all of these people were shot,” adding that 280 more remains had been buried in mass graves across the city.

Wladimir Klitschko, the boxing star, tweeted a video from Bucha showing citizens “shot in the head with their wrists tied behind their back.”

He stated: “This is not a high-level military operation. This is genocide.”

According to sources, the Russian commander in charge in Bucha is Lt Col Azatbek Omurbekov.

His 64th Motorised Rifle Brigade is claimed to have arrived from the far east of Russia.

“Soon all these murders, rapists, and looters will be known by name,” stated volunteers who identified the squad online.

Last Monday, a video surfaced purporting to depict the death room where Russian military tortured and slaughtered regular citizens in the town.

According to the Kyiv Post: “Russian invaders set up a headquarters with two rooms in one of Bucha’s residences. They tortured ordinary Ukrainians in the first chamber. They executed them in the rear in another room.”

According to one allegation from neighbouring Irpin, Russian death squads shot women and girls before driving tanks over them.

According to accounts, Moscow’s fighters also booby-trapped bodies.

According to reports, Chechen soldiers were in charge of the region at the time.

Russia said Sunday night that charges that it targeted people were “false.”

Moscow claims that no people were injured by Russian soldiers and accuses Kyiv of orchestrating the atrocities for the benefit of western media.

In a rambling outburst, Russian state TV host Vladimir Solovyov declared, “The war against Russia has reached a new phase.” They’ll accuse us of genocide very soon.

“This entire provocation appears to have been planned by the British.”

Dmytro Kuleba, Ukraine’s foreign minister, claimed, “Russia is worse than ISIS.”

“They were killing citizens while fleeing – out of rage and just because they wanted to kill,” he told Times Radio.

“We’re still getting bodies, but the figure is already in the hundreds.”
