Ukraine wants to "show the world" what happened in Bucha, said Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, vowing that the country will "not pause" until it finds those accountable.
Speaking from Bucha to reporters on Monday, Zelensky said it is "very important to us that the press is here" in the town.
"We want you to show the world what happened here. What the Russian military did. What the Russian Federation did in peaceful Ukraine. It was important for you to see that these were civilians," the president added.
Shocking images of civilian bodies found strewn across a street in Bucha have sparked international outrage. The Kremlin questioned the reports regarding Bucha on Monday, rejecting all accusations of Russian military involvement.
The European Union on Monday announced it has established a joint investigation team with Ukraine to probe alleged Russian war crimes and crimes against humanity.
Zelensky told reporters Monday that the present situation a "matter of life and death and torture," stressing Ukraine's commitment for finding those responsible for the atrocities.
"We are going to put maximum pressure. We shall not pause for one minute to find all the criminals and I think this will benefit civilization," Zelensky continued.
He warned that "if we don't find a civilized solution," the Ukrainian people "will find a non-civilized solution" to deal with matters.-CNN
