Israel’s ambassador to Ukraine condemns the apparent massacre of civilians in the Kyiv suburb of Bucha.
“Deeply shocked by the photos from Bucha. Killing of civilians is a war crime and cannot be justified,” tweets Michael Brodsky.
The statement comes amid reports of dozens of dead bodies, all in civilian clothing, left in the streets of the Ukrainian town after Russian troops retreated.
The mayor of the town said that 280 other bodies had been buried in mass graves.
