UN to Vote on Russia's Suspension from Human Rights Council

The United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) will hold a session, tomorrow, Thursday, to vote on Russia's suspension from the Human Rights Council following accusations that Russian troops deliberately killed civilians in Bucha, Ukraine.

The United States (US) and the UK announced that they are seeking to remove Russia from the United Nations Human Rights Council over the Bucha deaths, according to France 24.

In turn, Russia described this step as "unreasonable" and "unprecedented".

It is worth mentioning that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy accused Russian forces of killing and torturing more than 300 civilians in Bucha.

“We have just launched an investigation into everything the occupiers have done,” Zelenskyy said, according to the ‘BBC’.

“Currently, there is information about more than three hundred people killed and tortured in Bucha alone. The list of casualties is likely to be much larger when the entire city is checked. And this is only one city," he added.

"There is already information that the number of victims of the occupiers may be higher in Borodinka and some other liberated cities," he noted.
