UN suspends Russia from Human Rights Council as evidence of atrocities mounts
in the Ukraine city of Bucha, multiple media outlets reported Thursday.
Der Spiegel, citing sources familiar with the audio, said it reveals Russian troops spoke of the atrocities as though they were discussing their everyday lives. In one of the intercepted conversations, a soldier apparently told another that they had just shot a person on a bicycle. A photo of the dead body lying next to a bicycle has been shared around the world. In another intercepted conversation, a man apparently is heard saying that Ukraine soldiers are interrogated, then shot.
Former Ukraine President Petro Poroshenko said the bill"is not only inspiring, but it also marks a new stage in repelling the Russian aggressor."The U.S. Senate will vote Thursday on banning the importation of oil with Russia and end normal trade relations with the country in response to the atrocities in Ukraine during the monthlong Russian siege. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer accused Russian President Vladimir Putin of war crimes, echoing other U.S.
"There's nothing less happening than major war crimes," Biden said, describing scenes of bodies left in the streets of the Ukrainian town of Bucha including civilians executed with their hands tied behind their backs.
