The discovery of dozens of civilian bodies in streets and mass graves after Russian troops passed through Butcha, on the outskirts of Kiev, has put talks on the war in Ukraine further away from a peace deal.
The country’s president, Volodymyr Zelensky, accuses Russia of committing war crimes. The images made heads of state of several countries condemn the role of Russian forces in the conflict – and should generate a new wave of sanctions against Moscow.
The Kremlin denies attacking civilians and says the images are “another Ukrainian provocation”. The Russian government called the photos and videos staged, but satellite images obtained by The New York Times refute the argument that the bodies were placed there after the withdrawal of foreign troops.
In this Wednesday’s episode (6), Café da Manhã analyzes how the discussion about war crimes can change the course of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine. The podcast listens to researcher Felipe Alamino, author of the book “Annexation of Crimea: the Concept of Aggression in International Law”.
