Ukraine’s president warned the United Nations today that Russian forces “cut off civilian tongues” and killed raped mothers in front of their children.
Volodymyr Zelensky, Ukraine’s heroic president, revealed into great detail about alleged crimes committed by Russian soldiers in freshly freed towns and cities.
He informed the Security Council that soldiers had sliced noncombatants’ throats, raped and slaughtered women in front of their children, and cut out tongues “because they didn’t hear what they wanted to hear.”
Mr Zelensky was alluding to suspected war crimes perpetrated in Bucha, a town northwest of Kyiv that was just abandoned by Russian forces when Vladimir Putin directed the military to redirect their harsh efforts in the Donbass region.
The Ukrainian leader went on to say the atrocities were “just for their pleasure” and that soldiers “cut off limbs” and “slashed their [civillian’s] throats”.
During his statement to the UN Security Council today, President Trump linked Russia to ISIS.
Mr Zelesnky, who was in Bucha yesterday, stated that “there is not a single crime that they (Russian soldiers) would not do.”
According to Mr Zelensky, entire families were massacred and troops attempted to burn their remains, and individuals were shot in the street or thrown into wells.
“This is no different from other terrorists, such as Daesh, who take various territory,” he said, adding that “here it is done by a member of the United Nations Security Council.”
“They foster hatred at the governmental level and attempt to export it to other nations via their system of propaganda and political corruption,” he added.
Though Bucha has been the main focus of Russia’s war crimes charges, Mr Zelensky claims it is “just one of many cases” of when Russian forces slaughtered, raped, and disfigured innocent people.
“Today, as a result of Russia’s activities in our nation, in Ukraine, the most horrible war crimes of all times, that we’ve witnessed since the conclusion of World War Two, have been perpetrated,” Mr Zelensky said at the conference, sponsored by the UK.
