Ukraine’s president has urged the UN Security Council to ensure its members adhere to the rules of international law or shut its doors, as he accused Russian troops of committing “the most terrible war crimes” since World War Two.
In a passionate address to the UN’s most powerful body on Tuesday after more grisly evidence emerged of civilian massacres in areas that Russian forces recently left, Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that “aggressors” should be “brought to peace immediately”.
He showed a short video of burned, bloodied and mutilated bodies, including children, in Irpin, Dymerka, Mariupol and Bucha.
Russia’s UN Ambassador Vassily Nebenzia then told the Security Council that Russian troops are not targeting civilians, dismissing accusations of abuse as lies.
