Russia's Rusal calls for an investigation into Bucha 'crime'

Russian metals company Rusal has called for an investigation into the killing of civilians in Bucha, a suburb of the Ukrainian capital Kiev.

Rusal Chairman Bernard Zonneveld said in a statement that recent reports of atrocities from the town, which was occupied by Russian troops for a month until the end of March, had shocked the company.

"We believe that this crime should be thoroughly investigated," he said. "We support an objective and impartial investigation of this crime and call for severe punishment for the perpetrators."
