Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky outlines a list of alleged Russian atrocities, in a speech to the UN.

Showing a thick video, he alleges civilians were shot in the streets, thrown into wells and crushed by tanks.

Scenes in Bucha, near Kyiv - where civilian corpses were strewn in the streets - are being repeated in other parts of the country, he says.

Zelensky accused Russia of “supporting hatred at the level of the state” and exporting it to other countries “through their system of propaganda and political corruption”.

They provoked a global food crisis that could lead to famine in Africa, Asia, and other countries. They will surely, and in large scale, [lead to)] political chaos in many countries and destroy their domestic security.

Every UN member state should be interested in how the organisation will choose to act in response to Russia’s actions in Ukraine, Zelenskiy continued.

Russia’s leadership echoes the actions of “colonisers in ancient times”, he says, starting with the looting of food and “gold earrings that are pulled out and covered with blood”.

They need our wealth, our people.

Russia has already deported hundreds of thousands of our citizens to their country. They abducted more than 2,000 children. They just abducted those children and continue to do so. Russia wants to turn Ukraine into silent slaves.

The Russian military are looting openly the cities and villages that they have captured. This is why it’s called looting. They are stealing everything, starting with food and earrings. Gold earrings that are pulled out and covered with blood.

Russia denies any war crimes and its UN ambassador repeats debunked claims about bodies in Bucha.
