High-resolution satellite imagery has shown bodies have been lying in the open for weeks in the Ukraine city of Bucha, as Russia denied it had committed war crimes.

Russia’s UN ambassador, Vassily Nebenzia, insisted at a news conference that during the time that Bucha was under Russian control “not a single local person has suffered from any violent action”.
