German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said Western allies would agree on further sanctions on Russia in the coming days over its invasion of Ukraine and the “atrocities” committed by Russian troops in a town near Kyiv, reports www.dw.com.
Russian President Vladimir “Putin and his supporters will feel the consequences” of their actions, he said in a statement to reporters in the chancellery.
“And we will continue to make weapons available to Ukraine so the country can defend itself against the Russian invasion.”
On Saturday, hundreds of bodies of civilians were found in the town of Bucha, hours after Russian soldiers withdrew from the area.
Russia’s Defense Ministry has denied killing civilians, saying that photos and videos of corpses strewn across the streets were “another production of the Kyiv regime for the Western media.”
“During the time this settlement was under the control of Russian armed forces, not a single local resident suffered from any violent actions,” the ministry said in a statement.
