Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is set to address the UN Security Council about atrocities in Bucha.
The Security Council session opens with Undersecretary General Rosemary DiCarlo recounting testimony of mass killings and other atrocities near Kyiv.
She says 1,480 civilians have been killed in the war and says evidence points to Russia not adhering to rules of war.
Zelensky is expected to push for more powerful weaponry, some of which the West has been reluctant to give, in his speech to the Security Council.
Russia’s veto guarantees the body will take no action, and it was unclear whether its representatives would even remain in the chamber for the video address.
Russia has rejected allegations of atrocities, with officials repeatedly saying without evidence that the scenes were faked. Moscow says it will speak about Bucha at the UN on Tuesday, indicating its representatives will attend at least part of the meeting.
