European Commission Vice President Kaja Kallas: “Bucha has come to symbolise the cruelty of Russia’s war. Of the civilians killed, many were shot at close range. Some with their hands tied behind their backs.

“Four years after these mass killings, we remember the victims. What happened here cannot be denied.

“The EU is committed to ensuring that these crimes do not go unpunished, including by supporting the Special Tribunal for the Crime of Aggression, alongside the Claims Commission.

“Russia must be held accountable for what it has done to Ukraine”
