Kyiv accused Russia of genocide after the execution of dozens of civilians in Bucha. Moscow categorically denies this.
Like a frame from a horror movie – this is what the Kiev region looks like after the withdrawal of Russian troops. At least 400 civilian casualties have been identified so far, according to Ukrainian authorities. However, the number is likely to be much higher, but the search is difficult due to mines planted on the roads in the area.
Many locals are still missing.
“Day after day passed, and my husband was gone. I sent a signal to the Red Cross. My friend told me that two bodies lay across several streets. When I went, I recognized him by his boots and pants,” the Ukrainian woman said.
“I’m very scared. I’m returning from death twice. A bullet knocked out my window, fragments hit me. Some kind of horror. I’m afraid for the life of my children,” another woman said.
The leaders of the European Union and NATO condemned the deaths of civilians and called for accountability and investigation of war crimes. Russia called the photos of the victims fake.
