The head of the Russian metals company Rusal, the world's second largest aluminum firm, called for an investigation of the attacks in Bucha in a rare rebuke of the war coming from a large Russian.
The company was close to watching the war in the hope that it would end.
The Rusal chairman said that the company believes that the crime should be investigated.
The company supports an objective and impartial investigation of this crime, including severe punishment for the perpetrators, despite how hard that may seem.
Russia has continued to deny responsibility for the massacre, even though it admitted this week that significant losses of Russian troops in Ukraine this week.
We all wish for an early end to this conflict, which destroys lives, families and entire cities. Zonneveld said that they want those responsible for the crimes to be punished.
Russia denied that it killed civilians in Bucha, saying that the attacks were staged by Ukraine after Russian troops left. Satellite video from the New York Times showed bodies in the streets of Bucha for weeks while the area was under Russian control. The UN voted to remove Russia from its Human Rights Council after the massacre. Rusal, which says on its website that it was responsible for nearly six percent of the world's aluminum production, is one of the few large Russian firms to speak out against Russia. The conflict would bring shame to future generations, according to the founder of Rusal. Roman Abramovich, the owner of the soccer club, has been involved in Russia-Ukraine negotiations.
Rusal, the chairman of Russia, called for an investigation into the killings.
Putin's spokesman admitted that there were significant losses of Russian troops in Ukraine.
