'UN general assembly to vote today on whether to suspend Russia from its human rights council'

Ukraine's foreign minister says only further weapon support from NATO allies will defeat Russian forces.

He is in Brussels for talks with member counterparts.

Yesterday, the west imposed more sanctions on Moscow in a unified showing of international outrage - following footage which showed civilian bodies lying in the streets of Bucha, near Kyiv.

Dmytro Kubela says help is needed to avoid similar horrors. 

“My agenda is very simple - weapons, weapons and weapons,” he added.

“The more weapons we get, the more lives will be saved; the more cities and villages that will not be destroyed."

Meanwhile, The UN's general assembly will vote today on whether to suspend Russia from its human rights council.

A two-thirds majority will be needed among the 193 members in New York.

The move was initiated by the US following the discovery of hundreds of bodies in the Ukrainian town of Bucha after Russian troops withdrew.

And, despite going after Russia's biggest bank - and coal and oil imports - Ukraine's President says Western sanctions on Moscow are still not going far enough.

Footage of blown-up buildings and bodies in the streets continue to come out of Ukraine - something the Kremlin keeps denying as 'fake'.

A week-long curfew's beginning tomorrow in the city of Hostomel.

Volodymyr Zelenskyy says sanctions need to be 'destructive' enough to stop the war.
