The atrocities unearthed in the city of Bouka are evidence of war crimes, said European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, leaving Ukraine today.
The commission’s president visited Ukraine on Friday to see the aftermath of Russian bombings in cities such as Bukhara.
“My instinct is, ‘If this is not a war crime, what is a war crime?’ “But I am a doctor and the lawyers must investigate it carefully,” von der Leyen told reporters on the train leaving Ukraine.
“I saw the photos, the Ukrainian prime minister showed them to me. To kill people while walking. We could also see with our own eyes that the disaster in the city is targeting the lives of citizens. The houses are not military targets, she said, referring to Boukas.
Yesterday, a team of medical examiners began the exhumation mass grave in Bouka.
The EU and other Western allies are helping Ukraine gather information on future war crimes prosecutions.
