Russia's top diplomat dismissed the accusations of Russian troops committing atrocities against its civilians as a staged provocation.

The Russian Foreign Minister said at the start of his talks with the UN that the Ukrainian claim of a massacre of civilians was a threat to global peace.

Russia has called for an urgent meeting of the UN Security Council but the U.K. refused to convene it. He would press the demand for the meeting.

The bodies of at least 410 people were found outside of the Ukrainian capital after the withdrawal of Russian troops. A growing number of world leaders have called for harsher sanctions against Moscow.

The Russian minister accused the mayor of Bucha of not mentioning atrocities against civilians a day after Russian troops left, but two days later scores of bodies were photographed in the streets.

The leaders of Albania and Kosovo harshly condemned the killings of Ukrainian civilians by Russian troops and urged the world to hold Russia accountable.

The Albanian Prime Minister said the bodies found after the Russian soldiers left are shocking and urged for an independent investigation.

Nothing can ever excuse such cruel treatment. He said that it was a pain and a shame.

Kosovo's Prime Minister Albin Kurti said the bodies found in Bucha reminded him of atrocities committed in his country during the 1998-1999 war between ethnic Albanian independent fighters and Serbian forces.

Mass graves, people brutally killed with body parts missing, burned houses and cities turned to rubble are all familiar scenes from genocidal regimes.

Nine years after a bloody conflict between Serbia and Albanians in Kosovo left more than 12,000 people dead, the country gained independence.

The perpetrators of the Bucha massacre must be brought to justice and Russia must be held accountable.

The European Union and the United States should impose sanctions on Russia, according to Albania and Kosovo.
