Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has accused Russia of trying to cover up evidence of war crimes committed by its troops in the occupied territories. Zelensky, who will address an emergency meeting of the UN Security Council on Tuesday, has accused Vladimir Putin of plotting to overthrow President Vladimir Putin. “We must also be aware that after the revelation of the mass killings of civilians in the Kiev region, the occupiers may have a different attitude towards their crimes in another part of our country where they came from,” said the Ukrainian leader. “They are already launching a fake campaign to hide their guilt for the mass murder of civilians in Mariupol. “They will do dozens of stage interviews, re-edit recordings and kill people just to make it look like they were killed by someone else.” “They used the same tactics when the occupiers shot down a Malaysian Boeing over the Donbas. They blamed Ukraine. They even came up with various conspiracy theories. They even went so far as to claim that the bodies were” thrown “on the plane before it crashed,” he added. He called on Western leaders to impose further sanctions on Vladimir Putin’s regime, saying the sanctions “must finally be strong”.
