The horrific claim was made by the Ukrainian ambassador to Estonia Mariana Betsa
in a heartbreaking tweet with pictures too graphic to show. With Russian troops
pulling out of central Ukraine and the surrounding Kyiv area, shocking images
have emerged of dead bodies and mass graves, with many calling for Vladimir
Putin to be placed on trial for war crimes.

“Russian invaders killed families. First foto [photo] - Bucha.



“They burned the bodies.

“Second foto - Mykolayiv.

“A 3-year old Arina (with signs of rape) on top of her 17-years old sister
Veronica.

“Russia should be accountable for the genocide of Ukrainians.”

The tweet was backed up with further evidence of shocking war crimes by
Ukrainian MP Lesia Vasylenko who wrote: “Russian soldiers loot, rape and kill.

“10 y.o. girls with vaginal and rectal tears.

“Women with swastika shaped burns.”

“Russia. Russian Men did this.

“And Russian mothers raised them.

“A nation of immoral criminals.”

can we do?”

Jonqui added: “Signs of rape of a 3-year-old - heartbreakingly horrendous beyond
belief.

“I will never understand how rape is weapon of war.

“What makes soldiers turn into rapists in war conditions or are we to believe
they are rapists in normal life?

“Unbelievably horrible.”

Former boxing heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko wrote: “There are no words
for these crimes.

“But there are those responsible for these crimes.”

   'Fitting for each of them!' Biden blasted after Boris visits Kyiv to meet

US President Joe Biden has called for Vladimir Putin to be tried for war crimes
as western leaders prepared a fresh round of economic sanctions against Moscow
amid mounting global outrage over claims of civilian killings by Russian
soldiers in Ukraine.

Mr Biden responded to harrowing images broadcast around the world after the
discovery over the weekend of a mass grave and bodies in civilian clothes, some
with their hands bound.

Speaking to reporters, the President said: “You may remember I got criticised
for calling Putin a war criminal.

“Well, the truth of the matter – we saw it happen in Bucha – he is a war
criminal.

“But we have to gather the information.

“We have to continue to provide Ukraine with the weapons they need to continue
to fight, and we have to get all the detail to have a war crimes trial.

“This guy is brutal and what’s happening in Bucha is outrageous.”

“We know thousands of people have been killed and tortured with extremities cut
off; women raped, children killed.”

French president, Emmanuel Macron, called for “very clear measures” against
Moscow, including an embargo on Russian oil and coal, while the EU’s foreign
policy chief, Josep Borrell, said the bloc was urgently working on a new round
of sanctions and stood in solidarity with Ukraine during “sombre hours for the
whole world”.
