Russia orders an official examination of what it calls Ukrainian “provocation” after Kyiv accused the Russian military of massacring civilians in Bucha.

  • Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez says he has seen signs of a possible “genocide” in Bucha.
  • United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres says he was “deeply shocked” by images of dead civilians in the town of Bucha, near the Ukrainian capital, Kyiv, and calls for an independent investigation.
  • Ukraine’s prosecutor general says the bodies of 410 civilians have been recovered from areas in the wider Kyiv region from which Russian forces withdrew.
  • Moscow requests the UN Security Council to convene to discuss what it called a “provocation by Ukrainian radicals” in Bucha.
