No amount of disinformation from the Kremlin can hide the truth about the killing of civilians in Ukraine, UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson has said.

Images from the town of Bucha since the withdrawal of Russian forces have shown widespread destruction and bodies lying in the street, some with their hands tied behind their backs.

Similar pictures have emerged from the neighbouring town of Irpin.

Russia's defence ministry has denied that any civilians were harmed by its forces in Bucha and called the photos "another production of the Kyiv regime for the Western media".

Writing on Twitter, the prime minister said: "Russia’s despicable attacks against innocent civilians in Irpin and Bucha are yet more evidence that Putin and his army are committing war crimes in Ukraine.

"No denial or disinformation from the Kremlin can hide what we all know to be the truth – Putin is desperate, his invasion is failing, and Ukraine’s resolve has never been stronger."
