U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Linda Thomas-Greenfield highlighted 'credible reports' about Russian forces abducting tens of thousands of Ukrainian civilians and forcing them to relocate to Russia.
WARNING: GRAPHIC CONTENT - Images from devastation in Ukraine are displayed during a meeting of the U.N. Security Council, Tuesday, April 5, 2022.President Volodymyr Zelenskyy focused on atrocities committed against his people in his speech to the Security Council, Tuesday, April 5, 2022.
Zelenskyy, who previously said more than 300 people were tortured and killed in Bucha alone, spelled out Tuesday how"civilians were crushed by tanks while sitting in their cars in the middle of the road,""women were raped and killed in front of their children," and equated Russian aggressors to"terrorists" occupying other territories for cutting out the tongues of Ukrainian civilians who opposed them.
Ukrainian MP Lesia Vasylenko on Tuesday highlighted how the United Nations declared that Ukraine is the most mine-infested country in the world as over a million people live around land rigged with explosives. Reports said Russian soldiers had rigged at least some of the bodies of Ukrainian civilians they killed with explosives to evoke more tragedy as people recover the dead from shallow graves.
The U.S. recently announced another $1 billion in new funding toward humanitarian assistance as neighboring countries, including Moldova, Romania, Poland, Slovakia and Hungary,"are bearing the brunt of Europe’s most significant refugee crisis since the Second World War," the ambassador said. The U.S. has committed to taking in up to 100,000 Ukrainian refugees and others displaced by Russia’s war.
