NEW YORK, April 6 ― Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky told the United Nations Security Council yesterday that “accountability must be inevitable” for Russia as he accused invading Russian troops of committing “the most terrible war crimes” since World War Two.
Zelensky questioned the value of the 15-member UN Security Council, which has been unable to take any action over Russia's February 24 invasion of Ukraine because Moscow is a veto power, along with fellow permanent council members the United States, France, Britain and China. Russia's partner China, which has abstained on most UN votes since the war started, was “deeply disturbed” by the images of civilian deaths in Bucha, China's UN Ambassador Zhang Jun said, calling for verification of what happened.
“No one can be a shield for Russia's aggression,” she said as Washington pushes to suspend Russia from the Geneva-based UN Human Rights Council. The United Nations said some 11 million Ukrainians -- more than a quarter of the population -- have fled their homes. More than 4 million of those people have left Ukraine.
