Can Moscow ignore the outrage? Russia rejects mounting evidence of Ukraine war crimes

THE DEBATE © FRANCE 24

Moscow has so far shrugged off hard evidence of summary executions in the liberated Kyiv suburb of Bucha, evidence which continues to mount. As the West dials up sanctions and arms shipments, as Ukraine's president makes his case to the UN Security Council, we gauge the mood in the room. Will blanket denials be enough to keep on board nations big and small who by necessity or principle see it in their interest to give equal air time to the Kremlin?

On Day 41 of Russia's invasion, what's Vladimir Putin's objective? To submit Ukraine or simply destroy it? With every passing day, Moscow still refuses to let relief in for the besieged port city of Mariupol. What's the objective? We ask about the facts on the ground.

Produced by Charles Wente, Léopoldine Iribarren, Imen Mellaz and Aline Bottin.
