ЄС допомагає Україні та НУО зібрати необхідні докази для позовів у міжнародних судах.
Подальші санкції та підтримка ЄС на підході.
Слава Україні!
According to Charles Michel, the EU is assisting Ukraine and non-governmental organizations in gathering of necessary evidence “for pursuit in international courts.”
“Further EU sanctions and support are already on the way,” he said.
German Finance Minister Christian Lindner also responded to the tragedy

After the liberation of Bucha, the city mayor Anatoliy Fedoruk reported about hundreds of killed locals. According to him, 280 people were buried in the mass grave. He also said that the bodies of murdered people, some 14 years old, were lying on the streets of the city.
