Israeli Minister Dr Nachman Shai has called for an international investigation into war crimes in the Ukraine.

Dr Shai, Minister for Diaspora Affairs, spoke of his horror amid revelations of mass rapes and murder in Bucha, Irpin and Mariupol.

He said Israel would continue to act as a safe haven for Jewish refugees fleeing the bloodshed and said those responsible for atrocities should be brought to justice.

"We need an international investigation into the war crimes taking place in Ukraine,” he said, “Only international pressure by governments, NGOs and public opinion will stop Russia.”
