Almost 300 people buried in “mass grave” in Bucha, dozens of bodies found in the streets

The mayor of Bucha, Anatoliy Fedoruk, reported that a mass grave had been found in the town (Bucha is a town to the north-west of Kyiv). Almost 300 people had been buried there, while dozens of bodies lay in the streets, some with their hands tied.

Anatoliy Fedoruk reported that a mass grave was found in Bucha, where 280 people had been buried.

The demolished streets of the town are covered with corpses, he reported.

The bodies of at least 20 men in civilian clothes have been found in one of the streets of the town after it had been liberated from the Russian troops, according to journalists.

The Senior Ukrainian Presidential Advisor said that many of the victims shot by the aggressors had their hands tied. They were unarmed men killed by the Russians.

"The bodies of people with their hands tied have been found in the streets. They were shot dead by Russian soldiers. These people did not belong to the military forces. They did not have weapons. They did not pose any threat. How many more such cases are happening in the occupied territories right now?"

Mykhailo Podolyak added that Ukraine is not asking anyone to fight in its place against Russia, but that Ukraine needs weapons to defend herself.
