EU urgent meeting for new sanctions on Russia

The European Union announced on Monday that it would review the possibility of a new round of sanctions on Russia, following reports of acts of atrocities committed in Ukrainian cities occupied by Russian forces.

In a statement by European Union Foreign Policy Chief Josep Borell, it said the bloc would address the issue urgently.

Mr Borell said massacres carried out in the city of Buça and other Ukrainian cities would be included in the list of atrocities committed on European soil.

The statement also said the EU would provide assistance to Ukrainian prosecutors who are collecting and preserving evidence of war crimes.

The European Union also supports war crimes investigations by the International Criminal Court and the United Nations Commissioner for Human Rights.

Yesterday U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinchen harshly condemned Russia accusing it of acts of cruelty in Ukraine,

Mr. Blinchen heads to Brussels for meetings this week with the foreign ministers of NATO member states, meetings aimed at highlighting the military alliance's determination to hold Russia accountable for the war in Ukraine.

In a Twitter post, United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres expressed deep shock at images of civilians killed in Ukraine's Buça. He wrote that it is essential that an independent investigation lead to effective accounting.

French President Emmanuel Macron said Monday that the European Union should be prepared to impose more sanctions on Russia in response to reports of civilian killings.

Ukraine's chief prosecutor said Sunday that authorities have found 410 troops in and around Kiev, during an investigation into possible war crimes committed by Russia. But according to Reuters agency, Attorney General Iryna Venedyktova has added that witnesses will be interviewed later, as she put it, they are very traumatized by what they have seen.

In a statement Sunday the Russian Defence Ministry dismissed accusations that the Russian military was responsible for killing civilians in Bucha and claimed that film footage and photos of the dead were another provocation by the West. Russia urged the UN Security Council to call a meeting Monday to discuss what it called actions by Ukrainian radicals in Bucha.

But Britain, which has the next chairmanship of the Security Council this month, announced that there will be no meeting on Monday and that the issue could be discussed at the meeting for Ukraine scheduled to be held on Tuesday.
