What they're saying: Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky called the attack "a deliberate Russian war crime" and "a deliberate mass murder of Ukrainian prisoners of war," in an address overnight, CNN reports.

• "There should be a clear legal recognition of Russia as a terrorist state. Russia has proven with numerous terrorist attacks that it is the biggest source of terrorism in today's world," he added.
