Ukraine’s prime minister has accused Russia of carrying out genocide against Ukrainians during the war.
Speaking to the BBC’s Clive Myrie, Denys Shmyhal said he was “absolutely sure this is genocide against the Ukrainian nation from Russia side”.
The sight of tied bodies shot at close range in the Ukrainian streets of Bucha has triggered a global outcry and pledges of further sanctions against Russia from the West.
Shmyhal also called on the West to stop buying Russian oil and gas, saying the money was being used to “finance this genocide” and crimes by Russia.
Shmyhal added: “Russian budget is budget of terrorism and not only against Ukraine, against all the civilised world.
“It’s blood money because they use this money to buy weapons from which they kill Ukrainians.”
Russia has denied that its forces have carried out atrocities in Bucha and elsewhere.
