President Volodymyr Zelensky has invited former German Chancellor Angela Merkel and French President Nicolas Sarkozy, who led the nations during the 2008 Bucharest NATO summit, to visit Bucha to see what policy of concessions to Russia has led to.
Secretary-General of the United Nations, Antonio Guterres, says an independent investigation must be conducted to hold accountable everyone complicit in mass killings of civilians in the town of Bucha outside Kyiv.
There have been many reports of the Russian forces killing civilians in Bucha, a satellite town near Kyiv. According to a local activist Oleksandr Ostapa, 57 bodies have been buried near a church in Bucha, 53 of them civilians. “They will have to be identified later,” he said.
Anatoliy Fedoruk, the mayor of Bucha, a town on the outskirts of Kyiv region, which has been the site of fierce shelling by Russian invaders over the past days, was wounded on Sunday, March 6.
