Australia’s Defence Minister Peter Dutton has said that Russian President Vladimir Putin should be investigated for war crimes allegedly by Russian forces in the Ukrainian city of Bucha after photos and videos emerged of dead bodies lying in the streets and in mass graves.

On April 3, Ukraine Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba claimed that Russian forces had massacred Ukrainian civilians in Bucha, located near Kyiv, as Western powers said they were preparing more sanctions against Moscow.
