A photo of members of a family killed in a Russian mortar attack near Kyiv, subsequently published unblurred on the front page of the New York Times, became the first defining symbol of the horrors of the war in Ukraine. 

Now, amid reports of more atrocities and a Russian retreat from the Ukrainian capital, it could be used to help build a case that the Kremlin has committed war crimes. 

Today, we speak to the New York Times photojournalist, Lynsey Addario, about the day she took the image, and we ask whether it's likely Vladimir Putin and his military chiefs will ever be brought to justice for the horrors of their invasion.
