The Ukrainian president's remarks will be delivered as evidence grows that Russian troops purposely killed civilians — alleged actions he's called 'genocide' but that Russia denies.
Bucha, Ukraine
Zelenskyy, speaking from Ukraine, planned to address the most powerful U.N. body after it receives briefings from Secretary-General Antonio Guterres; his political chief, Rosemary DiCarlo, and U.N. humanitarian chief Martin Griffiths, who is trying to arrange a cease-fire. Griffiths met with Russian officials in Moscow on Monday and is due to visit Ukraine.
The Ukrainian prosecutor-general's office described one room discovered in Bucha as a"torture chamber." In a statement, it said the bodies of five men with their hands bound were found in the basement of a children's sanatorium where civilians were tortured and killed. However, high-resolution satellite imagery by commercial provider Maxar Technologies showed that many of the bodies had been lying in the open for weeks, during the time when Russian forces were in Bucha. The New York Times first reported on the satellite images showing the dead.
"I'm in favor of a new round of sanctions and in particular on coal and gasoline. We need to act," he said on France-Inter radio.
