Ukraine crisis: Zelenskyy to address UNSC today; Moscow faces growing outrage amid new evidence of atrocities

Moscow faced global revulsion and accusations of war crimes after the Russian pullout from the outskirts of Kyiv revealed streets flooded with corpses of what appeared to be civilians, some of whom had seemingly been killed at close range.

The terrifying images of battered bodies left out in the open or hastily buried led to calls for tougher sanctions against the Kremlin.

Germany and France reacted by expelling dozens of Russian diplomats, suggesting they were spies, and US President Joe Biden said Russian leader Vladimir Putin should be tried for war crimes.

Meanwhile, the Ukrainian government says that 18 journalists have been killed in the country since Russia’s invasion began on February 24.

The Ukrainian Culture and Information Ministry said in a statement on social media Monday that each of the deaths and other crimes against media representatives will be investigated.

The ministry added that another 13 journalists had been wounded, eight had been abducted or taken prisoner and three journalists were still missing.
