Is it a turning point? There's outrage over the carnage and desolation left behind by retreating Russian forces north of Ukraine's capital. We discuss war crimes accusations in the Kyiv suburb of Bucha and ask – now that the war's set to last – whether the Kremlin's ultimate objective is to occupy Ukraine or reduce it to rubble.
Moscow has been quick to pre-empt calls for a war crimes tribunal by requesting a UN Security Council meeting and accusing the Ukrainians of staging a gruesome trail of evidence. Is it enough to keep fans of Putin on board, like Hungary's re-elected Prime Minister Viktor Orban?
European leaders insist they won't stand idle after Bucha, with natural gas-dependent Germany now wondering aloud whether it's time to shut the tap on Russian imports sooner rather than later. Is it the outrage du jour or are we really at a turning point?
