Oris Johnson called on millions of Russians on Tuesday to distance themselves from Vladimir Putin’s war crimes in Bucha – stressing “I can not believe he is acting in your name.” The prime minister recorded a video, which he will also give in part in Russian, in the hope that his message will go viral and that the Russian people will hear the truth about the horrific atrocities committed by Mr Putin’s forces. He was expected to speak out about the painful reports and plans of civilians being massacred in Bucha, near Kyiv, and in other cities and towns, some with their hands tied and shots to the back of the head, indicating execution. People have also been horrified by reports of mass graves being discovered and women raped in front of their children

The prime minister was expected to describe Mr Putin’s war crimes as a “stain on Russia’s honor” and as “betraying the confidence of every Russian mother who proudly bids farewell to her son as he marches into the army”. Mr Johnson was to add: “Those in charge will be held accountable. “And history will remember who looked the other way. “Your president is committing war crimes. “But I can not believe he is acting in your name.” State media in Russia have failed to report on the horrors of the war in Ukraine, where the bodies of at least 410 civilians have been found in cities and towns recaptured by Mr Putin’s troops. However, the crackdown on news agencies and demonstrations, with thousands of anti-war protesters being arrested, has not been able to stop reports from Ukraine and the West of Russian citizens being flown on social media or by telephone. Before addressing the UN Security Council, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Putin and his military leaders would not be able to “deceive the whole world” about their war crimes, as he warned of possible worst atrocities since the massacre. . The inconceivable loss, pain and suffering caused to so many families has been revealed in Bucha, as Russian troops were forced to retreat. Among them is Tanya Nedashkivs’ka, 57, who is mourning the death of her husband. Mr Zelensky called for a “fuller, more transparent investigation” into the identity and bringing to justice of those who “gave orders” and committed the horrific massacre of civilians in his country. In his speech late at night, the president said: “At the moment, there are reports of more than 300 people being killed and tortured in Bucha alone. “It is possible that the list of victims will be much larger when the whole city is controlled.” He also warned: “There is already information that the number of victims of the occupiers may be even higher in Borodyanka and some other liberated cities.” He stressed that war crimes were worse than “even during the Nazi occupation 80 years ago”. Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmitry Kuleba also warned that the evidence so far for the killing of civilians was just the “tip of the iceberg”. Vitali Klitschko, the mayor of Kiev, described the “Ukrainian genocide” after visiting areas around the capital. He said he saw dead civilians, including an elderly woman, and a white-flagged car with the words “children” abroad shot and blood inside. Satellite images taken weeks ago of Bucha show the bodies of civilians on a street, a private US company said, undermining claims by the Russian government that Ukrainian forces had caused the deaths or that the scene had been staged. Maxar Technologies provided nine images of Bucha to Reuters on March 18, 19 and 31. At least four of the images appear to show corpses on Yablonska Street. The city was occupied by Russian forces until about March 30. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov claimed that the bodies were “directed” and that their images and what he said was a false version of events in Ukraine had been spread on social media by Western countries and Ukraine. The Russian Embassy in London wrote on Twitter: “Foreign Minister #Lavrov: #Russia has requested an emergency meeting of the Security Council @ UN on the situation in #Butsa, because such challenges pose an immediate threat to international peace and security. We will demand from the #United Kingdom as the current President of the UN to fulfill his duties “. Labor MP Chris Bryant expressed the views of many in Britain, saying: “No. You are the butchers of Bouha. You shot people in the head with their hands tied behind their backs. You slaughtered whole families and dug mass graves. You will be held accountable. “ The United Kingdom is taking the lead in pushing for a war crimes trial. Zelensky accused the Kremlin of spreading “lies” and “distortions of facts” about the atrocities. However, he added: “They will not succeed. They will not be able to deceive the whole world. The time will come when every Russian will learn the whole truth about who killed his fellow citizens. Who gave the orders. He closed his eyes to the murders. We will consolidate all this. “
