The Associated PressRescue workers are seen on Saturday as they carry the body of a man who was found among the rubble of a destroyed apartment building in Borodyanka, Ukraine.Speaking to British broadcaster Sky News on Sunday, Iryna Venediktova said Ukraine has identified 500 suspects, including "top" Russian military personnel, politicians and "propaganda agents."

Venediktova called the missile strike at a train station in Kramatorsk, in Eastern Ukraine " on Friday "absolutely" a war crime. The strike killed at least 52 people and wounded more than 100 others as civilians were evacuating the city in the Donetsk region. Several European leaders have made efforts to show solidarity with the battle-scarred nation. Zelensky thanked the leaders of Britain and Austria for their visits Saturday to Kyiv, Ukraine's capital, and pledges of further support.

The Ukrainian leader repeated his call for a complete embargo on Russian oil and gas, which he called the sources of Russia's "self-confidence and impunity.""Freedom does not have time to wait," Zelensky said. "When tyranny begins its aggression against everything that keeps the peace in Europe, action must be taken immediately."

However, Western assessments have expressed increasing confidence in the ability of Ukraine's defenders to repel Russian assaults, portraying Russia's troops as suffering from low morale and mounting casualties.
