Turkey demands full investigation into ‘horrific’ Bucha massacre

Istanbul, Apr. 6, (dpa/GNA) - Turkey has called for an independent investigation into the mass killings in the Kiev suburbs of Bucha and Irpin.

Those responsible for the “horrific massacre” must be held accountable, the Turkish Foreign Ministry said on Wednesday.

“We share the pain of the Ukrainian people,” it said, adding that the killings were a “shame for humanity.”

Images of dead bodies on the streets of Bucha and Irpin, just outside the capital Kiev, have been circulating since the weekend and have sent shockwaves around the world.

Ukraine says Russian soldiers, who recently withdrew from the area, committed the massacre. Moscow denies the claims, calling the images “fake.”
