Despite Russian government’s denial, new satellite images have revealed that the Russian military killed civilians in Bucha, Ukraine.
The satellite images confirmed the claim by the Ukraine government that innocent civilians seen lying dead on the street in a video released on Friday were killed by Russian soldiers.

According to BBC, the satellite images contradict the invaders’ denial as the location of the bodies as shown in the video is the same with satellite images from Maxar.
However, the satellite images were captured on March 19, when Russian forces were still in the city.
In his address to the United Nations Security Council on Tuesday, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, the President of Ukraine, called on the members of the United Nations to employ strident measures in bringing Russia to justice.

“Now the world has seen what the Russian military did in Bucha while keeping our city under occupation,” Zelenskyy said. “But the world has yet to see what they have done in other occupied cities, in other occupied areas of our country.
“I am sure that every state in the UN system should be interested in this. For what? In order to punish once and for all those who consider themselves privileged, consider themselves unpunished. Hence, to show all other potential war criminals in the world that they will inevitably be punished as well. If the biggest is punished, everyone will be punished.”
