West pledges to punish Russia over civilian killings in Bucha

The deaths in Bucha, outside Kyiv, drew pledges of further sanctions against Moscow from the West, possibly including some restrictions on the billions of dollars in energy that Europe still imports from Russia.

Mr Zelenskiy said the killings had made it harder for Ukraine to negotiate with Russia. Neither side offered updates on peace talks that had been set to resume on Monday. United States President Joe Biden called for a war crimes trial against Russia's President Vladimir Putin, calling him"brutal".Ukrainian authorities said they had found 421 civilian casualties near Kyiv by Sunday and were investigating possible war crimes in Bucha, a description also used by French President Emmanuel Macron and, in reference to Russia's broader offensive, by the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights.

Mr Zelenskiy has used the term genocide at various times during the war, decrying what he calls an intent to eliminate the nation by Mr Putin, who has questioned Ukraine's legitimate, independent history from Russia. German Defence Minister Christine Lambrecht said the European Union must discuss banning Russian gas, though other officials urged caution around measures that could touch off a European energy crisis.

Who will punish the West for the West’s civilian killings in Iraq, Libya, Syria, Afghanistan, etc?
