Volodymyr Zelenskyy accused Russian troops of gruesome atrocities in Ukraine and told the U.N. that those responsible should face war crimes charges.
BUCHA, Ukraine -- Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy accused the Russians of gruesome atrocities in Ukraine and told the U.N. Security Council on Tuesday that those responsible should immediately be brought up on war crimes charges in front of a tribunal like the one established at Nuremberg after World War II.
Zelenskyy said that both those who carried out the killings and those who gave the orders"must be brought to justice immediately for war crimes" in front of a tribunal similar to what was used in postwar Germany. The chief prosecutor for the International Criminal Court at The Hague opened an investigation a month ago into possible war crimes in Ukraine.
In televised remarks Tuesday, Lavrov said a new deal would have to be negotiated if the vote failed, and"we don't want to play such cat and mouse." On Tuesday, police and other investigators walked the silent streets of Bucha, taking notes on bodies that residents showed them. Survivors who hid in their homes during the monthlong Russian occupation of the town, many of them past middle age, wandered past charred tanks and jagged window panes with plastic bags of food and other humanitarian aid. Red Cross workers checked in on intact homes.
"Only non-humans are capable of this," said Angelica Chernomor, a refugee from Kyiv who crossed into Poland with her two children and saw the photos from Bucha."Even if people live under a totalitarian regime, they must retain feelings, dignity, but they do not."
