John Cornyn: “Russian troops intentionally massacred more than 400…”

“The bombing of Ukraine's power grid, which was part of a state policy of widespread attacks on the civilian population, further illustrates the point. One particular event in Bucha stands out. Russian troops intentionally massacred more than 400 civilians [in Bucha]. apparently as part of a systematic clearing operation to secure their path to the capital. At Kyiv, Russian paratroopers from the 234th Air Assault Regiment interrogated and and executed unarmed men of fighting age and killed people who unwittingly crossed their paths.” (05:25–05:30)
