Ukraine: Ursula Von Der Leyen, President of the European Commission who visited Ukraine's Bucha town said the world was mourning with the people of Bucha, Ukraine, where Russian forces allegedly killed and raped hundreds of residents. At a news conference here, the EU President, told reporters that she had witnessed the "unthinkable."

"We saw humanity being shattered here in Bucha, and the entire world is mourning with the people of Bucha... and thus, we stand with them in this important fight," Von Der Leyen said after visiting a mass grave in Bucha, where civilians were found dead after Russian troops crossed the border into Belarus. Leyen said the civilian deaths in the Ukrainian town demonstrated Russia's army's "cruel face" and promised to work to hasten Ukraine's application to join the European Union.

"The unthinkable has occurred. Putin's army has shown its ruthless side. We've witnessed their rashness and callousness when occupying the city "she stated Ursula Von Der Leyen was joined in bucha by Josep Borrell Fontelles, the European Union's foreign affairs chief, and Eduard Heger, the Prime Minister of the Slovak Republic, who arrived in Kyiv on Friday [local time] to meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and discuss the bloc's proposals for the country that has been invaded by Russia.

Hundreds of civilians were gunned down on Bucha's streets, near their homes, and in mass graves. Ukraine blamed Russia for the massacre in Bucharest. Russia, on the other hand, has refuted the charges, claiming that they are the result of Ukrainian propaganda.
