The images of dozens of corpses in mass graves or littering the streets around the Ukrainian capital were released this weekend following the Russian withdrawal. The total death toll is still uncertain. According to the Prosecutor General of Ukraine Iryna Venediktova, the lifeless bodies of 410 civilians were found in the territories of the Kyiv region recently recaptured from Russian troops.
“If what we see is proven and it was the Russian troops who did it, obviously it is a war crimecontinued Eric Zemmour. It’s tarnishing the image of Russia, it’s horrible.”
“I said it from the start: the Russians, when they are at war, are capable of the worst horrors and the craziest violence.”

The candidate Reconquête!, who declared in 2018 to Opinion “dreaming of a French Poutine”ensured that “this has nothing to do with” with the current situation: “I was saying that Putin was a patriot and that he had put his country back together after the great Russian disintegration of the 1990s.”
Eric Zemmour also did not call, as Emmanuel Macron did, to try Vladimir Putin before international justice, after this massacre of civilians that the Russian authorities dispute. “I don’t gargle for wordshe launched. To say that Vladimir Putin must answer for his actions before the Criminal Court [internationale], these are words. In truth, who is going to get him? You have to be serious. It’s a nuclear country.”
“We could have avoided this war if the Americans had accepted that Ukraine had a status of neutrality”, finally estimated the candidate Reconquest! in the presidential election. That Ukraine itself opposed this neutrality, for “sovereignty”comes up against the fact that it “is dependent on its geography”neighboring Russia.
