  • Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky called for an end to Russian "war crimes," as the ongoing retreat of Russian forces around Kyiv reveals alleged atrocities.
  • In Bucha, northwest of the capital, images show civilian bodies found strewn across a street, and CNN reporters observed a mass grave in the town, with the mayor saying there could be up to 300 victims buried on site.
  • The alleged war crimes have drawn international outrage, with Western leaders calling for investigations and increasing sanctions on Russia.
  • The besieged city of Mariupol is still a hotbed for fighting and airstrikes, the UK's Ministry of Defense said, adding the southern port is "a key objective of the Russian invasion."
