Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky warned that negotiations between his nation and Russia would only grow more difficult after his visit to Bucha, where mass graves and bodies piled in the streets have led to new accusations of war crimes.
“It’s very difficult to negotiate when you see what they have done here,” Zelensky said from Bucha, according to multiple outlets.
He added that the situation in Ukraine would worsen “the longer the Russian Federation delays” talks, condemning the inhumane treatment of the Ukrainian people at the hands of Moscow’s forces.
Zelensky called out those who have opposed NATO membership for Ukraine, saying world leaders should “come here and see how these games, how this flirting with the Russian federation ends,” CNN reported.
Over the weekend, images circulated of Ukrainian civilians lying in the streets of Bucha after they had been executed by Russian forces. The brutal scene prompted an international outcry.

Exclusive: These satellite images, obtained by NYT, refute Kremlin claims that the killing of civilians in Bucha occurred after Russian soldiers left.
The images show that many civilians were killed more than 3 weeks ago, when Russia controlled the town.https://t.co/nkLDWOEZZm— Cliff Levy (@cliffordlevy) April 4, 2022
As much as we'd like to say there is widespread Russian opposition to the war, this kind of propaganda (as we know here in the United States) makes viewers into zombies. And doing this in English is practically an admission of guilt and a call for help from their apologists. https://t.co/0h65qGOkmf
