US President Joe Biden has called for Russian President Vladimir Putin to be tried for war crimes as evidence emerges of atrocities allegedly committed by Russian forces in Ukraine.
There is mounting international anger over the alleged killing of civilians in Bucha, a town near the capital Kyiv.
"This guy is brutal," Biden said of the Russian leader, adding that he believes Vladimir Putin "is a war criminal". Without evidence, Russia said images of atrocities had been staged by Ukraine.
Biden's intervention follows the publication of new satellite photos by the earth observation company Maxar, which show bodies lining Bucha's streets during its occupation by Russian forces.
