U.S. President Joe Biden called Russia’s Vladimir Putin ‘a war criminal’ and pledged to collect evidence for a trial
Ivan Volodymyrovych has only had a few nights of quiet sleep since Russian forces fled, taking with them the artillery and rocket launchers that had for weeks brought the thunder of war to this rural area east of Kyiv, in a failed attempt by invading soldiers to batter their way into the capital.
Canada pledged new sanctions against 10 people it called close associates of the Russian and Belarusian regimes for facilitating and enabling the violation of Ukraine’s sovereignty. Ottawa did not name the people. Russia has denied any responsibility for civilian deaths, asserting against evidence to the contrary that the corpses were staged on streets.“It’s important to show all over the world what the Russian Federation and what the Russian army did here,” he said, calling it “just unimaginable.”
“The tractor was on the field minutes later,” said Mr. Volodymyrovych, who The Globe and Mail is identifying by his patronymic because he fears a Russian return and revenge. While the tractor worked, battle smoke was still curling from the horizon as the Ukrainian army gave chase to fleeing Russian forces. Five or 10 days later and it would have been too late to plant crops such as sunflowers.
Ukraine said its State Emergency Service has roughly 500 specialists trained to defuse leftover munitions. But it is impossible to estimate how many munitions remain, it said in a statement Monday. Perhaps worse are the naval mines that have been detected in the Black Sea. Their presence has helped to ensure shipping cannot resume at ports vital to Ukraine’s agricultural exports, which supply large percentages of the world’s wheat, corn and sunflower oil needs. Millions of tonnes of the 2021 harvest remain in warehouses and granaries, unable to find a way out .
