In a speech to the United Nations Security Council, Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky, outlines a list of alleged Russian atrocities.
Showing a gruesome video, he alleges civilians were shot in the streets, thrown into wells and crushed by tanks for the “pleasure” of Russian troops.
He says scenes in Bucha, near Kyiv – where civilian corpses were strewn in the streets – are being repeated in other parts of the country.
Russia denies any war crimes and its ambassador repeats debunked claims about bodies in Bucha.
UK Foreign Secretary, Liz Truss, calls for further sanctions on Russian shipping, banks and gold on a visit to Warsaw.
Meanwhile, heavy fighting continues in eastern Ukraine, where Russia is now focusing its battles.
