00:00 Russian soldiers killing civilians on video

We may now have the first video obtained by the media that shows Russian soldiers committing war crimes in Ukraine. CNN and the BBC have obtained footage from March which claims to show Russian forces gunning down civilians on the outskirts of Kyiv.

CCTV cameras appear to capture the moment the soldiers arrived at a motorhome dealership. A security guard comes to meet them at the gate. They talk, smoke cigarettes together, before the soldiers leave. Two then return and shoot the guard and the owner of the company. The security guard survived the attack but later died of his wounds. As he bled out in his office, the Russian soldiers looted the showroom.

07:32 UN investigating rape as a weapon of war

The United Nations and several aid organizations say that women are bearing the brunt of Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Many have experienced sexual violence by Russian soldiers.

In areas retaken from Russian troops, civilians have given horrifying accounts of sexual violence. Ukraine's human rights ombudsman has received hundreds of reports, but the true numbers are impossible to calculate. The International Criminal Court has also already opened investigations into more than 400 cases. Meanwhile the UN is working with local authorities to get aid to survivors - and other women at risk.
