(Reuters) – Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said on Sunday that mass graves discovered in Ukraine were proof of Russia’s war crimes and that the aggressor country must take full responsibility for its actions.
In London for Queen Elizabeth’s funeral, Trudeau told reporters he had met British Prime Minister Liz Truss and that the Russian invasion of Ukraine was at the top of the conversation.
“Obviously the UK and Canada have been two of the strongest countries in supporting Ukraine and opposing Russia’s illegal actions,” Trudeau said.
These actions “increasingly include war crimes, which are absolutely unacceptable, whether we think of what we found in Bucha or the discovery of mass graves in the territories reconquered by Ukraine”, he said. -he declares.
Ukrainian authorities said last week they found 440 bodies in forests near Izium in northeastern Ukraine, a town recaptured by Ukrainian forces. They said most of those killed were civilians and the causes of death had not been established.
The Kremlin has not commented on the discovery of the graves, but Moscow has repeatedly denied deliberately attacking civilians or committing such atrocities.
