UKRAINE’S president Volodymyr Zelensky vowed today that Vladimir Putin and his troops who brought such “evil to our land” would be punished for war crimes which have appalled the world.
As more harrowing footage emerged of civilians murdered in Bucha, near Kyiv, Britain condemned the “whole new world of horror” unleashed by the Russian president and vowed to lead the global response to force him to end his barbaric invasion.
Cabinet ministers called for tougher sanctions against the Putin regime, as well as more military, economic and diplomatic support for Ukraine. Its prosecutor-general, Iryna Venediktova, said the bodies of 410 civilians had been found in towns near the capital, which were recently retaken from Russian troops.
Tetyana Volodymyrivna, who lives in Bucha, described the horror of finding her murdered husband. “I recognised him by his sneakers, his trousers. He looked mutilated, his body was cold,” she said. In a late-night address to the Ukrainian nation, Mr Zelensky, left, said “concentrated evil has come to our land”.
He stressed that “every crime of the occupiers on the territory of our state” would be investigated. Vowing that war criminals would be brought to justice, he added: “Everyone guilty of such crimes will be entered in a special Book of Executioners... will be found and punished.” Speaking to CBS News he described the killings as “genocide” and said the Russian invasion involved “the torture of the whole nation”.
