Wed 06 April 2022:
British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has said the images emerging from Bucha this week do not “look far short of genocide”.
“I’m afraid when you look at what’s happening in Bucha, the revelations that we are seeing from what [Russian President Vladimir] Putin has done in Ukraine, which doesn’t look far short of genocide to me, it is no wonder that people are responding in the way that they are,” Johnson told reporters.
The sight of civilians shot dead in the town’s streets, some with their hands tied, have triggered a global outcry and pledges of further sanctions against Russia.
Earlier on Wednesday, British Health Secretary Sajid Javid said, “This is mass murder on an unprecedented scale in Europe. We haven’t seen the likes of this I think since 1995,” he told BBC television.
“I don’t want to be commemorating another genocide in Europe years from now. We have the power, the world has the power to stop this, and it must act.”
