April 5 (Reuters) – Ukrainian President Volodimir Zelensky said he would address the United Nations Security Council on Tuesday and predicted more mass graves would be discovered in the country, blaming Russian troops for having mass killing of civilians.

While at least 300 civilians were killed in Boutcha, where mass graves and corpses were discovered after Ukraine regained control of the town from Russian troops, he said he expected the toll be even heavier in Borodyanka and other cities of the country.

The meeting of the Security Council must focus on the accusations of war crimes formulated by Ukraine against the Russian army after the discovery of hundreds of corpses, some of them tied up, in Boutcha, near the capital Kyiv.

Moscow has categorically rejected these accusations, accusing Kyiv of “criminal provocations” and ensuring that it will present evidence to the Security Council that the Russian military is not involved in these atrocities.

Volodimir Zelensky has already spoken via videoconference before more than a dozen assemblies, including the American Congress and the European Parliament.

“I want to emphasize that we are interested in the most comprehensive and transparent investigation, the results of which will be known and explained to the entire international community,” the Ukrainian president said in a daily video message.
