Canada's foreign affairs minister, Melanie Joly, spoke Monday about the recent images coming out of Bucha, Ukraine after the Russian military withdrew from the town near Kyiv, saying what happened was "completely egregious, completely unjustifiable and shocking." She added she shared the "strong feelings" Canadians had when the images and videos came out of Ukraine, saying they were "clearly" war crimes and crimes against humanity.

She said that Canada would work within the International Criminal Court to support the prosecutor investigating Russian President Vladimir Putin over possible war crimes in Ukraine, and would do so also through funding. Canada would also be supporting the UN Human Rights Council, which she said is conducting its own investigation.

Joly also said "maximum pressure" must continue to be put against Russia, saying there would be more sanctions on the part of Canada.

Finnish Foreign Minister Pekka Haavisto, who joined Joly for Monday's press conference, added it was important to collect information and interview those who have witnessed atrocities to ensure they have all the data for future processes involving investigations.

Over the weekend, news outlets began to report the deaths of civilians in the streets of Bucha as Ukrainian forces reentered the town.

Taras Shapravskyi, deputy mayor of Bucha, said 50 of some 300 bodies found were the victims of extra-judicial killings carried out by Russian military or paramilitary forces.

The Kremlin has rejected those accusations as war propaganda.
