Distressing images from Russia’s attack on the city of Bucha near the capital of Kyiv have left much of the world speechless

Speaking in Bucha, Ukrainian President Zelensky has accused Russia and its leader, Putin of committing genocide as he assessed the mass destruction.

Russia is accusing Ukraine of staging the images all in an attempt to drum up global outrage.

The bodies of 410 civilians have been discovered in areas surrounding Kyiv, with some laying in mass graves, while others reportedly had their hands tied before being shot at close range.

When asked whether peace talks can and will continue following these violent events, Zelensky said “yes, because Ukraine must have peace”

Powerful, passionate address from Zelensky tonight. Switching from Ukrainian to Russian he addresses mothers of soldiers who committed horrific war crimes in Bucha, Irpin, Hostomel, asking how they raised “butchers,” and he tells Moscow to see how it’s orders are being fulfilled. pic.twitter.com/7UyYxqiY4V

The Kremlin’s spokesman says his nation “categorically rejects all allegations” with Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov calling it all an “act”.

In the West, US President Joe Biden has called on Vladimir Putin to face the International Court of Justice over war crimes

At Downing Street, Boris Johnson has labelled the attacks as “barbaric” as the UK pledges further sanctions and military aid for Ukraine.
