Ukraine mourns 'most outrageous atrocity of 21st century' after Bucha massacre

UKRAINE has compared Russia to ISIS and said the Bucha massacre is now the "most outrageous atrocity of 21st century".

Ukrainian forces moved into the town near Kyiv On Friday (April 1) and found what officials and witnesses said were the bodies of 300 civilians killed by Russian troops during a month-long occupation.

"Without an exaggeration, by what we have seen in Bucha and vicinity, we can conclude that Russia is worse than ISIS in the scale and ruthlessness of the crimes committed," he said, speaking to reporters during a visit to Warsaw.

Regarding the possibility of a meeting between Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy and Russian President Vladimir Putin, Kuleba said that Ukraine was ready, "despite all the crimes, despite all the atrocities committed by Russia."

Russia’s defense ministry said in a statement that footage and photographs showing dead bodies were "yet another provocation” and denied allegations that it had killed civilians in Bucha.

In these days where everybody has a camera people may get a slightly more informed idea of how brutal war actually is and maybe one day we can get rid of it like the cancer it is.

do people just forget about what ISIS did in Syria? Im not saying this is not bad, this is unbeliavable... but you can't really call it the most outrageous atrocity of 21st century '' . Maybe in Europe, sure, but not in the whole world.What they did in Syria is not comparable

My saddest sympathy goes out to ukrain

If the Kremlin had said that Bucha massacre was a tragic accident and that they regrets what happened, we would understand that this was excessive act of the perpetrators.
But the Kremlin immediately began to shift the responsibility to the Ukrainians.
This means that most likely Bucha is not an accident and that such events will continue to occur in the future.

That is the Russian commanding officer who is responsible for that atrocities in Bucha " Lt Colonel Azatbek Omurbekov "

If this not a WAR CRIME, then what other evil deeds do Pootin have to committ before it QUALIFY as one?

The STAIN OF RUSSIAN Butchery and Slaughter IS EVERYWHERE,

[DavidGetling]

The mass graves remind one of how the Russians murdered 22, 000 Polish officers in WW II. It seems that 70 years later they still have no hesitation in committing the most atrocious of war crimes.

Dear Europeans and Americans, and all the westerners!. Ukrainians know pretty well how many things you did for supporting Ukraine now. we are grateful to all of you.BUT, we still need more HEAVY offensive weapons like air/anti-ship missiles, jets, etc..PLEASE, picket your officials and request this stuff. If I could personally get down to my knees for each of you, I did it...

[tajkhan]

myanmar was much worse, and what makes it even a worse atrocity is that the person responsible was not punished or accountable by NATO. NATO only steps in when it best serves them.

[roblemohamed]

Ukraine supported America did worse in Iraq, Ukrainian troops percitipated in worse things.

[rremac]

Slava Ukrainian but fr the minister dripping in that stone island🇺🇦❤️‍🩹

The fight for the ukranians is a fight for the rest of europe! Stay strong!
