The discovery of hundreds of civilians killed in Boutcha continues to have consequences.
This Tuesday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky speaks before the UN Security Council.
Volodymyr Zelensky denounced "war crimes" and "genocide" after the update of corpses wearing civilian clothes in Boutcha and other localities near the Ukrainian capital.
Denying any responsibility, Moscow accused the Ukrainian authorities of preparing "stagings" of civilians killed in several cities to condemn Russia.
First intervention
The Ukrainian president will address the Security Council for the first time since the invasion of his country, said the United Kingdom, which currently chairs this United Nations body.
Russia protested for its part against what it presented as London's refusal to convene the Security Council at its request, for a meeting on the situation in Boutcha, according to the Tass agency.
Direct or deferred
In a video broadcast overnight from Monday to Tuesday, Volodymyr Zelensky confirmed that he would intervene by video before the Council, without it being known whether his speech will be live or delayed.
One day, "every Russian will learn the whole truth about [those of his] compatriots [who] killed [or gave] the orders", he said in this video, calling for tougher sanctions against Moscow and for deliver more armaments to his country.
