The UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres has called for an independent investigation into "the images of civilians killed in Bucha, Ukraine".

After Russian troops withdrew from the city which is on the outskirts of Kyiv, images of bodies lying in streets emerged, along with eyewitness accounts of residents being shot at and killed by Russian troops.

Alex Dayrabekov escaped Bucha when the war in Ukraine began, but has remained in touch with people there.

He continues to document what is happening in the city in the hopes that it can be used as evidence in later criminal trials against Russia, if the country was ever to face trial over war crimes.

When asked why he tweets images from Bucha, he replied: 鈥淭he entire world has to see them, if the world doesn鈥檛 know what is happening here, the world does business as usual. Thousands of people died here, they died because they were deliberately killed. In one case, two cars in Bucha were shot at by an armoured vehicle with machine guns. Civilians were going in the cars. In one car, an entire family, a man, a woman and two kids. The woman and both kids were shot and died on the spot."
