Allegations of genocide
\nand war crimes continue to target Putin’s Russia after the grim discoveries made
\nby the Ukrainian army all around Kyiv, where a number of towns were captured by
\nthe invaders. The bodies of hundreds of dead civilians have been found, and
\nforensic teams have already examined part of them, Ukraine’s prosecutor general
\nhas said. At the same time, investigators are deposing eye witnesses and
\ngathering photo and video evidence. In Bucha alone, some 300 people were buried
\nin mass graves, Ukrainian authorities say, accusing the Russian army of
\nmassacring the people of this town and committing atrocities in other towns
\nthat have been liberated. Russia has denied Ukraine’s accusations, claiming the
\nimages of corpses were doctored. The West was appalled by the images, and said
\nit would introduce new sanctions against Moscow, although more is expected of
\nits leaders, as Russia recently announced its true goal is the destruction of
\nUkraine. <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The tone changed in Bucharest as well, where president Klaus Iohannis
\nsaid the dreadful images of Bucha and other Ukrainian cities is a message to
\nthe whole world that this illegal aggression must be stopped and the people
\nresponsible be held accountable. Russia’s invasion in Ukraine has terrible,
\nunspeakable consequences – the images from Bucha and other cities in Ukraine
\nshould remind the whole world we need to stop this illegal aggression and the
\nculprits must pay. International justice must prevail!, Iohannis tweeted. In
\nturn, Prime Minister Nicolae Ciuc\u0103 called on international courts of
\nlaw to prosecute what he described as the terrible crimes committed in
\nUkraine by Russian soldiers. Children, women, civilians abused and killed in
\ncold blood await their justice, the prime minister wrote on the Government’s
\nTwitter page. <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Foreign Minister Bogdan Aurescu firmly condemned the atrocities
\nin Bucha and other cities and asked that the culprits be brought before the
\nInternational Court of Justice. The president of the Republic of Moldova, Maia
\nSandu, expressed her shock, decreeing Monday a day of national mourning in
\nmemory of the victims killed so far in Ukraine. We were shocked by the
\nmassacre of Bucha. Moldova firmly condemns these crimes against humanity, as well
\nas this illegal and unprovoked war launched by the Russian Federation against
\nUkraine, president Sandu wrote on Facebook. (VP)<\/p>\n
