Ukrainian President Zelensky has labeled the bombardment of Kharkiv, which killed dozens of civilians, as a war crime
On Monday Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky stated that there were eyewitness accounts of civilians being deliberately targeted during an attack on Ukraine’s second largest city by Russian forces.
Rights groups also said war crimes may have occurred during Russia’s invasion.
The International Criminal Court’s is looking to launch its own investigation into the allegations.
There is “reasonable basis” to believe war crimes or crimes against humanity have been committed in Ukraine, chief prosecutor Karim Khan said late Monday.
A week since launching its invasion, Russia is attacking Ukraine on several fronts.
Leaders of the UK and other Western Nations however say Russia’s advance has been slowed by Ukrainian resistance.
Air raid sirens have again sounded in the Ukrainian capital of Kyiv.
Satellite images showed a 40-mile 64km Russian military convoy advancing from the north of the city.
The convoy includes armoured vehicles, tanks, artillery and logistical vehicles.
