“There can be no peace without justice,” Michel added.

Earlier, mass graves and corpses with hands tied were recovered from the suburbs of Kyiv oblast after the Russian forces retreated to neighbouring Belarus.

Recovery of mass graves and corpses triggered global outrage and sparked calls for investigation into possible war crimes Russian troops allegedly committed during Ukraine war.

Earlier, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said that the situation in Borodyanka appeared “significantly more dreadful” than in nearby Bucha.
