Britain, which is chairing the UN Security Council this month, is convening a meeting tomorrow to discuss the massacre in Bucha, Ukrinform reports.
This was announced on Twitter by the Permanent Representative of London to the UN Barbara Woodward. “This weekend, in horrible footage and reports from Bucha, we saw unarmed Ukrainian civilians being shot with their hands tied behind their backs. More than 800 bodies were left on the streets or thrown into mass graves,” she said.
Evidence of war crimes committed on the territory of Ukraine, in particular in Bucha, will be discussed tomorrow at a meeting of the Security Council of Ukraine, said Woodward. “We will use our presidency of the Security Council to ensure transparency, accountability and fairness,” she added.
British Foreign Secretary Elizabeth Trass has said that Russia’s membership in the UN Human Rights Council should be frozen due to corpses and mass graves found in Bucha, Ukraine, according to Reuters.
“Given the serious evidence of war crimes, including information about mass graves and the brutal massacre in Bucha, Russia cannot remain a member of the UN Human Rights Council,” she wrote on Twitter. “Russia’s membership must be frozen.”
The same opinion was expressed by Washington.
