He said Russian troops had left Borodanka. When the work of clearing the rubble started there, many horrible pictures were seen.
Al Jazeera reports that Ukrainian troops found a mass grave in the city after Russian troops recently withdrew from Bucha, Ukraine. Kiev claims the bodies of civilians lying on the road.
Zelensky complained that Russian forces had carried out the massacre in Bucharest. However, Moscow has called it a staged drama.
