Ukraine has accused Russian troops of killing hundreds of civilians in Bucha, but Moscow has denied being to blame
Russia has been suspended from the United Nations' Human Rights Council following its invasion of Ukraine.General Assembly voted by 93 to 24 to suspend Russia, with 58 abstentions, over allegations of horrific rights violations by Russian soldiers, which the United States and Ukraine have called tantamount to war crimes.
Moscow described the move as an"unfriendly gesture" and said there will be consequences for bilateral ties, according to a note seen by Reuters.
. Russia's ambassador to the UN, Vassily Nebenzia, said earlier this week that while Bucha was under Russian control,"not a single civilian suffered from any kind of violence".
