Vladimir Putin drafts 130,000 new conscripts for Ukraine as US demands war crimes trial
04.04.2022 - 19:21 / dailyrecord.co.uk
Vladimir Putin has drafted 130,000 conscripts into the Russian army in a desperate attempt to turn around his stalled invasion, according to western officials.
Intelligence officials believe that the conscripts will be thrown into the fight for eastern Ukraine along with Russian troops being redeployed from Georgia, parts of which they have occupied for over a decade.
The move came as the UK Foreign Secretary Liz Truss said Russia should be suspended from the UN Human Rights Council and US President Joe Biden said called for war crimes trial against the Russia President.
Biden said he would seek more sanctions after reported atrocities in Ukraine.
“You saw what happened in Bucha,” Biden said. He added that Putin “is a war criminal”.
Russian troops are accused of massacring, torturing and raping hundreds of civilians in Bucha and Irpin.
Ukraine launched a war crimes investigation after bodies of civilians were found on the streets after Russian troops pulled out of areas around the capital Kyiv.
Ukrainian authorities say the bodies of 410 civilians have been found in the areas around Kyiv so far.
One Ukrainian MP claimed soldiers have raped girls as young as ten and branded women’s bodies with swastikas.
Boris Johnson described the discovery of mass graves as “sickening”.
The Prime minister said: “The UK will not stand by whilst this indiscriminate and unforgivable slaughter takes place.
“We are working to ensure those responsible are held to account. We will not rest until justice is done.”
Foreign Secretary Liz Truss tweeted: “Given strong evidence of war crimes, including reports of mass graves and heinous butchery in Bucha, Russia cannot remain a member of the UN Human Rights Council. Russia must be suspended.”

Kremlin responds to Gérard Depardieu’s criticism of Vladimir Putin over Russia-Ukraine conflict
ordered a military operation on its neighbouring country in February.“The Russian people are not responsible for the crazy, unacceptable excesses of their leaders like Vladimir Putin,” Depardieu, who has previously praised the Russian leader, said in a statement to French news agency AFP (per France 24).“Russia and Ukraine have always been brother countries,” he continued. “Stop the weapons and negotiate.”On Friday (April 1), Dmitry Peskov, a spokesperson for Putin, responded to Depardieu’s comments, telling reporters that the actor probably did not completely understand the situation in Ukraine and offered to explain it.“Since the president is mentioned there, I will assume that Depardieu most likely does not fully understand what is happening,” Peskov said on Friday (via News Interfax).He continued: “Due to the fact that he is not completely immersed in the political agenda, he does not understand what happened in Ukraine in 1914, he does not understand what the Minsk agreements are, he does not understand what Donetsk and Lugansk are, he hardly understands what is the bombing of civilians, he is unlikely to know about nationalist elements.”“If necessary, we will be ready to tell him all this and explain it so that he understands better. If he wants,” Peskov concluded.Depardieu left France and took up Russian nationality in 2013 to protest a proposed tax hike on the rich in his homeland.
