“Every year, politicians repeat ‘Never again.’ And now, we see that these words are simply worthless.” So said Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky last month. The images of Ukrainians, bound, beaten, and raped before their execution by retreating Russian forces in the Kyiv suburb of Bucha, give his words new resonance.
