Send an email to ask@cbc.caUkraine's president told the UN Security Council on Tuesday that the Russian military must be brought to justice immediately for war crimes, accusing invading troops of the worst atrocities since the Second World War. He called for a tribunal to be established that is similar to the Nuremberg tribunal set up to try war criminals after the Second World War. Canada's Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly has vowed that "these acts of terror won't go unpunished," and U.S. President Joe Biden said Russian President Vladimir Putin should be tried for war crimes. The expulsions follow other such moves by countries like Germany, France and Spain amid blistering criticism of Russia's war in Ukraine and discussions on a new set of sanctions. Zelensky said late Tuesday that Russian forces are trying to push east, but that Ukraine's army is holding them back.
