Russia Laments Tragedy Of Troop Deaths As Zelenskiy Warns Of Atrocities In Borodyanka Ukraine

The comments came as Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy announced more atrocities, saying the situation in Borodyanka was “much more catastrophic” than in Bucha. The six-week invasion of Moscow forced more than 4 million people to flee abroad, killed or injured thousands, turned cities into ruins and led to sweeping sanctions on Russian leaders and companies. In a symbolic move, the UN General Assembly suspended Russia from the UN Human Rights Council, expressing “grave concern about the ongoing crisis over human rights and the humanitarian crisis.” Russia then withdrew from the council. Moscow had previously acknowledged that its attack did not proceed as quickly as it would have liked, but on Thursday Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peshkov expressed regret over the rising death toll. “We have significant troop losses,” he told Sky News. “It’s a huge tragedy for us.” Russia is facing its most difficult economic situation in three decades due to unprecedented Western sanctions, said Prime Minister Mikhail Misoustin. The US Congress removed the trade status of the “most favored nation” from Russia in a further blow. Kyiv has called for heavier armaments from its Western allies and “catastrophic” sanctions against Moscow, saying the scale of any impending Russian attack on eastern Ukraine would remind NATO members of World War II. “Either you help us now – and I’m talking for days, not weeks – or your help will come too late and many people will die,” Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmitry Kuleba told a meeting of his counterparts in Brussels. on Thursday. Kuleba said he expected NATO members to send to Kyiv the weapons they needed, including air defense systems, artillery, armored vehicles and jets, but insisted they should act quickly as Moscow re-focuses on the region. Donbass. “I think the agreement offered by Ukraine is fair. You give us weapons. we are sacrificing our lives and the war is limited to Ukraine. This is.” NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg said the alliance had agreed to step up support for Ukraine, provide a “wide range” of weapons systems and also provide cybersecurity assistance and equipment to protect against chemical and biological threats. As peace talks between Russia and Ukraine continue via video, Turkey, which has hosted two meetings between the two sides, said images of deliberate killings of civilians in Bukha and cities in the Kiev region had “overshadowed” the talks and destroyed an “emerging positive climate”. Images and videos of dead civilians, some handcuffed, in the streets of Bucha after its recapture by Russian invaders have sparked international outrage and renewed calls from Ukraine for more weapons and tougher sanctions. On Thursday, Zelenskiy said the situation in Borodyanka was “much worse” than in Bucha. “The work to clear the rubble in Borodyanka has begun; it is much scarier there. “Even more victims than the Russian occupiers,” he said in a video posted to the Telegram messaging service. The city is approximately 15 miles (24 km) from Bucha. Video from Borodyanka showed search and rescue teams using heavy equipment to dig into the rubble of a collapsed building. Hundreds of people feared being buried. Zelensky also warned that Russia was preparing “propaganda scenarios” in which Russian troops would make it appear that Ukrainian soldiers were responsible for the deaths of civilians in Mariupol. Pro-Russian authorities in Mariupol said on Thursday that 5,000 people had been killed in the besieged southern city. “About 60-70% of the housing stock has been destroyed or partially destroyed,” said Konstantin Ivachenko, who separatists in the breakaway Donetsk region have claimed are now the mayor of Mariupol. Ukrainian authorities had put forward a “conservative” estimate of 5,000 dead in the city, which they say was 90 percent devastated, and showed “tens of thousands of civilian casualties”.
