The Mirror simply says “Genocide” in its headline below the gloomy line: “Putin’s last atrocities.” It mentions the use of the term by Volodymyr Zelenskiy, but the page gives a heartbreaking picture of Bucha, right next to the Ukrainian capital, where civilian bodies were abandoned on the street. Hundreds of civilians have been found in mass graves, he says, and some have been tied up. The Guardian covers the scene of the disaster in Bucha: “Woe to Bucha: Russia is accused of torturing and slaughtering civilians.” Notes the call for further sanctions and military support from the West in view of the mass killing of unarmed civilians. The Times headlined “Citizens shot in the streets” and said many of the victims had committed “execution style” after reporters visited two locations in Bucha. He cites MI6 chief Richard Moore as saying the killings were “scary and creepy”. The front page of the newspaper contains graphic images. The i emphasizes the point that the killed were civilians with the title: “Slaughter of the innocent”. He noted Boris Johnson’s call for “Putin to go on a hunger strike.” A mission from Ukraine also mentions the bleak situation faced by millions of people with disabilities. The FT and the Telegraph are focusing on the issue of sanctions. The FT reports the prospect of a full embargo on oil and fuel, with European Council President Charles Michel saying further sanctions were imminent following the Bucha massacre. EU diplomats are expected to discuss further measures Wednesday, he said. The Telegraph did not release any images of the scenes in Ukraine, but said the United Kingdom and its allies would not rest until Vladimir Putin was found guilty of war crimes in the aftermath of the Bucharest and Irpin scenes. The Daily Mail reports that the scenes in Ukraine are reminiscent of the horrors of World War II, stating that the killings were compared to “the horrors of the Nazis and the Great Terror of Stalin”. The title is “Putin’s stain on humanity.” Metro quotes Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmitry Kuleba as saying, “Worse than Islamic State.” He says the images from Bucha were too horrific to print and includes the Kremlin claiming they were “directed”. The Daily Express frames it in terms of Boris Johnson, with the prime minister pledging to “force Putin to pay for” hateful “war crimes. The Sun also notes Johnson’s comments on a side story on its front page. The Scotsman says: “Russians fleeing Kyiv leave traces of war crimes evidence,” along with a picture of Ukrainian troops patrolling the devastated streets of Bucha.
