Kuleba calls on ICC mission to come to Bucha to collect evidence of Russian war crimes

Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba called on the missions of the International Criminal Court (ICC) and international organizations to come to Bucha and other cities and towns of Kyiv region as soon as possible to collect evidence of war crimes and crimes against humanity committed by Russians.

"I call on the International Criminal Court and international organizations to send their missions to Bucha and other liberated cities and villages of Kyiv region, in order, in cooperation with Ukrainian law enforcement officers, to collect as thoroughly as possible all the evidence of Russian war crimes," the press service of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine quotes the words of Kuleba, said by him on the air of the British radio Times UK radio, on Sunday.

It is noted that the ministry has already sent a corresponding request to the International Criminal Court.

The head of Ukrainian diplomacy also stressed that this evidence will be used in international and foreign courts to bring to justice those who committed these atrocities.

"We are still collecting and looking for bodies, but the number has already gone to hundreds. Dead bodies lie on the streets. They killed civilians while in these villages and cities, and also leaving them," Kuleba said.

He also spoke about the mass crimes of the Russian army in Ukraine, including murder, torture, looting, rape: "It was impossible to imagine this in the 21st century, but it is happening before our eyes. Russia is worse than ISIS."

"If earlier I said that I would make every effort to bring the perpetrators to justice, now I am convinced that this is my life's work, which I will deal with until my last breath, until they all bear responsibility," the minister summed up.
