Zelenskyy accused Russian forces of committing genocide as retreat around Kyiv reveals mass devastation and images of bodies in the street.

Zelenskyy said “all the crimes of the occupiers are being documented” for a war crimes investigation that he said would be “full and transparent.” “The time will come when every Russian will learn the whole truth about who killed their fellow citizens,” he said. "Schools should be safe places of learning for children and must be free from attacks at all times," he said.The organization noted that the war has "exacerbated an already challenging educational context" in Ukraine.

Death toll in another town outside Kyiv could top Bucha's, Zelenskyy saysThe number of fatally wounded victims in a town outside Kyiv could surpass the death toll in Bucha, where Ukrainian authorities have said they found hundreds of civilians’ bodies after Russian forces retreated, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Monday. Zelenskyy said officials have “information” showing potentially high fatality counts in Borodyanka, about 15 miles west of Bucha, and other towns that are no longer under Russian control. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said he will address the U. N. Security Council on Tuesday, a day after he visited a town where authorities said they found hundreds of dead civilians.Speaking in a nightly address, Zelenskyy again called on democratically elected leaders to supply the country with more weapons and to impose “strong” sanctions on Russia “for the mass murders of civilians.”“Ukraine needs to get all the needed weapons in order to repulse the occupiers faster from our land,” he said. The U.S. thinks they may go to the Donbas region.“That doesn’t mean Kyiv is not under threat,” said the official.

N. Human Rights Council Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba said he has spoken with the head of the United Nations and pledged that Ukraine will do all it can to hold Russia accountable for war crimes.Kuleba tweeted that he spoke to U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres about what he called a massacre in the Kyiv-area city of Bucha.“Stressed that Ukraine will use all available UN mechanisms to collect evidence and hold Russian war criminals to account,” Kuleba wrote. “No place for Russia on the UN Human Rights Council.”Photos have shown what appeared to be the bodies of civilians in the street in Bucha after Russian forces left. Zelenskyy said there may be even more casualties in the nearby town of Borodyanka. Russia, which has veto power on the key 15-member U.N. Security Council, has denied targeting civilians, and its Defense Ministry has accused Ukrainian officials of staging the deaths in Bucha for Western media. But you could help.” Earlier, Zelenksyy visited Bucha, one of the Kyiv-area towns where Ukrainian officials have said the bodies of 410 civilians have been found. Associated Press reporters who visited the city said some appeared to have been killed at close range; at least two had their hands tied behind their backs, and one had been shot in the head.
