Russia-Ukraine updates: Putin suspends key US-Russia nuclear treaty in speech denouncing West

Ukraine's ambassador to the U.S., Oksana Markarova, accused Russia on Sunday of committing "war crimes of massive proportions" after a mass grave was discovered in Ukraine.

"It's tortures, rapes, killings. War crimes of a massive proportions," Markarova claimed in an interview with ABC "This Week" co-anchor Jonathan Karl. "That's why we need to liberate the whole territory of Ukraine as soon as possible because clearly Russians are targeting all Ukrainians. Whole families. Children. So, there is no war logic in all of this. It's simply terrorizing and committing genocide against Ukrainians."

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said in an address on Thursday that a mass grave was found in the recently recaptured territory of Izyum. Over 400 bodies could be buried in the site, according to Ukrainian officials.

Markarova said the majority of the bodies recovered from the site are Ukrainian, including entire families. She also said most of the remains showed "clear signs of torture."

She said an investigation of the mass grave is underway and that with the assistance of the United States her country is continuing to prepare national and international criminal cases against Russia.

Russia has repeatedly denied targeting civilians, despite evidence otherwise.

"It's so important for everyone to see the true face of this aggression and terrorist attack Russia is waging," Markarova said.

Russian President Vladimir Putin on Friday vowed to press his attack on Ukraine, despite the latest counteroffensive with Ukraine claiming it regained control of almost 400 settlements, according to the the Associated Press.

Putin met with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan in Samarkand, Uzbekistan Friday, on the sidelines of a security alliance summit, to discuss economic cooperation and regional issues, including the agreement allowing Ukrainian grain exports to resume, which was brokered by Turkey and the United Nations, according to the AP.

Putin told reporters the "liberation" of Ukraine's entire eastern Donbas region remained Russia's main military goal and that he sees no need to revise it, saying "we aren't in a rush," according to the AP.

Asked about the Ukrainian counteroffensive, Putin said, "Let’s how it develops and how it ends," according to the AP.

A "mass burial" site was discovered in Izyum, a city in the Kharkiv region, after it was liberated from Russian control, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said during his nightly address Thursday.

"Necessary procedural actions have already started there. There will be more clear verified information tomorrow," he said.

"We want the world to know what is really happening and what the Russian occupation has led to. Bucha, Mariupol and now, unfortunately, Izyum," he continued.

A senior Kharkiv police official told ABC News that a mass grave with more than 400 bodies was found on the outskirts of Izyum.

Evacuations are underway in two districts in the Ukrainian town of Kryvyi Rih after Russia struck a nearby dam with eight cruise missiles.

The strikes badly damaged the dam and a nearby pumping station, releasing huge amounts of water into the Inhulets River and causing it to swell and break its banks. Streets and homes were flooded and two bridges were swept away.

Kryvyi Rih is the hometown of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. About 650,000 people live there.

"Your missile attacks today, Russian missiles targeting Kryvyi Rih, the dam of the Karachunivske Reservoir, the objects that have no military value at all, in fact hitting hundreds of thousands of ordinary civilians, is another reason why Russia will lose. And not just this war, but history itself," Zelenskyy said in his evening address Wednesday.
