EU top diplomats arrive in Ukraine to mark Bucha massacre

-

KYIV, March 31 (Reuters) - ‌The European Union's top diplomat ​Kaja Kallas and several EU foreign ministers arrived in ⁠Kyiv on Tuesday to mark the fourth anniversary of the Bucha massacre and to ​voice their support for Ukraine, amid tensions within ‌the bloc over blocked EU aid.

Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha greeted Kallas and other senior EU ⁠officials at Kyiv's central railway ⁠station early on Tuesday, saying that such a strong European presence demonstrated that justice for Russian atrocities was inevitable.

"Today, we commemorate the ‌grim anniversary of the Bucha massacre," Sybiha said ⁠on the Telegram messaging ‌app. "Comprehensive accountability for Russian crimes ​is vital to restore justice in Europe. And today, we will advance accountability efforts."

Ukraine ‌marks the fourth anniversary this ​week of the ⁠liberation of Bucha, around 25 km from ‌the Ukrainian capital, ⁠which brought to light the atrocities carried out in the town, where Russian troops killed more ​than 400 ‌people. Moscow denied its troops committed the atrocities ⁠and accused Ukraine of ​staging the incident.
