Czech Prime Minister Petr Fiala called the images "horrifying" and said Russia has been committing war crimes.German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said international organizations should be given access to the areas to independently document the atrocities.

Unbelievable that Russians committ such heinous and sickening crimes. What is going on back there that they should act like this to innocent people?

NATO member Turkey is committing war crimes in Syria. Where's your outcry on that? Oh yeah, they're not white enough for you.

how many had white arm bands ?

You mean tortured and killed.

The word is “executed”. That’s what you call killing a person who is unarmed and bound.

How many civilians were killed when the US invaded Iraq?

Putin is like Hitler reincarnated.👿

Just following 'exterminate Ukrainians' orders from Putin.

Totally disgusting! Both humans & animals suffer in this one-sided 'war'.

There is evidence of wrongdoing by both sides. 2 years from now our spineless leaders will be buddies with Putin again.

Russian retreat leaves trail of slain civilians in town near KyivDead civilians still lay scattered over the streets of the Ukrainian country town of Bucha on Saturday, three days after the invading Russian army pulled back from its abortive advance on Kyiv to the southeast. Civilians or 'Enemy combatants', the distinction is important. Fun fact: teaching Civilians how to make molotov cocktails, makes them Enemy combatants, not deserving of Geneva Conventions, as per the U.S and NATO. This is all the fault of that Zelensky man is so desperate to arm civilians and fight to the last man. The world needs to stop with the hand outs and talk some sense to the man. At this rate even if he drives the Russians away no one will want to give them another cent to rebuild I can’t comprehend how western countries continue to let this slaughter happen! How do government leaders look in the mirror?
