Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said in a speech on Thursday that work was underway to clear the rubble in the town of Borodianka and that the situation there was “much scarier” than that of Bucha.
“Until now, the Russian state and the Russian military are the biggest threat on the planet to freedom, to human security, to the concept of human rights as such. After Bucha, this is already obvious,” he said, adding that work on clearing the rubble at Borodianka has already begun.
“It’s a lot scarier there. More victims of Russian invaders,” Zelensky said.
The Ukrainian president said similar atrocities were also seen in Mariupol.
“What will happen when the world knows the whole truth about what the Russian military did in Mariupol? There, on almost every street, is what the world saw in Bucha and other cities in the Kiev region after the withdrawal of Russian troops. The same cruelty. The same terrible crimes,” he said.
Zelensky suggested that atrocities committed by Russian forces would be used as propaganda. THE CNN cannot verify these claims.
“More and more information is coming in that Russian propagandists are preparing, so to speak, a ‘mirror response’ to everyone’s shock at what they saw in Bucha. They will show the victims in Mariupol as if they were not killed by the Russian military, but by the Ukrainian defenders of the city,” Zelensky said, “to do this, the occupiers collect dead bodies in the streets, take them out. And it can be used in other places, according to the propaganda scenarios”.
Zelensky said that all murders in Ukraine will be investigated and all looters, rapists and murderers will be found and that after what the world has seen happen in Bucha, it is clear that Russia “does not obey” human rights.”
He called the UN General Assembly’s decision – to suspend Russia from the Human Rights Council – as “fair and logical” and thanked the country that supported the UNGA decision.
“Perhaps Russia will change its attitude towards human rights, but at the moment this is not happening,” Zelensky said.
