Killing of Ukrainian civilians to bring fresh sanctions against Russia
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy kept up demands for war-crimes trials for Russian troops and their leaders while warning they were regrouping for fresh assaults on Ukraine's east and south. The Ukraine military said Russia was preparing for an offensive in Ukraine's east, with the aim “to establish complete control over the territory of Donetsk and Luhansk regions.”
In Ukraine's eastern Luhansk region, shelling of Rubizhne city on Tuesday killed one person and injured five more, its governor Serhiy Haidai said on Telegram. The EU's executive branch, meanwhile, proposed a ban on coal imports from Russia, worth an estimated 4 billion euros per year. It would be the first time the 27-nation bloc has sanctioned the country's lucrative energy industry over the war.
In the still largely empty streets of Bucha, dogs wandered among ruined buildings and burned military vehicles. Officials snapped photos of the corpses before gathering some of them. Many of the dead seen by AP journalists appeared to have been shot at close range, and some had their hands bound or their flesh burned.
Elsewhere in Ukraine, in Borodyanka, northwest of Kyiv, a 25-year-old, Dmitriy Yevtushkov, searched the rubble of apartment buildings and found that only a photo album remained from his family's home.
