Zelenksy Blasts Russia at UN for “Worst War Crimes” Since 1945; Russia Blames Ukraine for Massacre
Zelensky in a speech to the U.N. Security Council on Tuesday (April 5) said Russia was guilty of “heinous” war crimes, while the Russian ambassador vociferously denied the allegations.
The meeting began with an angry statement from the Russian ambassador addressed to the British envoy about her decision to twice reject Russian requests, without holding a procedural vote, for a Security Council meeting to discuss events surrounding the massacre in Bucha.
U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres “immediately called for an independent investigation to guarantee effective accountability.”
Below are the texts of statements from the Ukrainian president and the Russian, British and U.S. ambassadors.
