She will be prosecuted according to domestic and international law,' she said, but she expressed her anger and foretold punishment.
"A pit in the front yard of the church"... satellite image capture
This is a satellite image of a church in Bucha. If you look at the satellite image released by Maxa Technology, a private satellite company, you can see a rectangular pit in the front yard of the church.
CNN and Reuters reported that the pit is 14 meters long and appears to be the site of a mass burial of civilians.
CNN reporters covered this place, and they said that they had confirmed that dozens of bodies were placed in tombs in batteries. It was reported by citing the words of the residents.
However, the mayor said that up to 300 may have been buried, and the number of victims is expected to be higher.
In the West, work to find evidence of mass burial through satellite images is still ongoing. We are closely checking the location.

The cause of death of those found dead on the street and near the station is unknown, but it is said that they witnessed at least two bodies with major wounds on their heads. .
The testimonies of secondary residents are also being transmitted through foreign media. The New York Times (NYT) reported, "When a group of Russian tanks appeared, the Russian army shot a woman in her 50s who came out of the house to see it." was shot."
The British daily The Guardian is reporting eyewitnesses to the West that "Russian soldiers shot people trying to escape the city through the humanitarian corridor," and "I saw the Russian army shoot and kill an old man protesting in front of his wife."
The international community in shock
UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said, "I was shocked to see the civilians killed in the Ukrainian bureau. An independent investigation is essential to ensure effective accountability."
French President Macron was outraged on Twitter, saying, "I can't stand [the photo of the secondary civilian body]. Hundreds of civilians were brutally murdered on the streets. The Russian authorities will have to answer this crime." European Parliament Messola "These photos are the grim reality of the war crimes committed by Russian President Putin," he said.
There are reports that the US is considering additional sanctions as evidence of civilian massacres emerged from the secondary.
The possibility of additional sanctions against Russia in areas such as energy, minerals, transportation and finance, as well as secondary sanctions against countries that continue to trade with Russia is being discussed as a possible sanctions measure.
Russia is still supporting its economy by exporting oil and gas, but the US is looking for additional means of pressure.
"Russia has committed war crimes and is working to document and disseminate information," US Secretary of State Blincoln told CNN. We'll make sure we know exactly what happened."
Zelensky "The Genocide Crime"
Ukrainian President Zelensky accuses Russia of committing genocide in Ukraine to annihilate the entire Ukrainian people, along with genocide, in an interview with CBS.
"This is genocide. It is an annihilation of the whole country and its people," he argued, but when asked whether Russian President Putin should be held accountable, "All military commanders, all those who gave orders and orders, must be properly punished." He made it clear that Putin and everyone involved are subject to punishment.
President Zelensky also authorized the establishment of a special judicial body to investigate war crimes in Russia. He saw that the atrocities of the Russian military were 'genocide' (genocide), and he made an organization to collect evidence.
The concept of genocide was established when the UN made the 'Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of Crimes of Genocide' after World War II. We made this agreement to prevent this from happening again.
Genocide is an inhumane and violent crime committed with the intention of annihilating all or part of a national, ethnic, racial, religious, or political group. The incorporation directive can be seen as having this in mind.
Experts say war crimes can be brought before the International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague, but it is very difficult to hold Russian leaders accountable because the courts do not have enforcement powers.
The UN Security Council can enforce ICC decisions, but Russia has a veto power in the Security Council.
Russia "Ukrainian Directing"
Russia has denied the allegations of genocide and has called for the convening of the UN Security Council.
"All photos and videos released by the Ukrainian government to substantiate Russian military crimes in the secondary are another provocation," the Russian Defense Ministry said in a statement, according to Reuters. I claimed
It is also claimed that civilians were free to roam or evacuate the village during the Russian occupation.
As Russia steadfastly denies war crimes, a battle between Russia and the West will inevitably develop fiercely over it.
