At least 1000 bodies of civilians discovered in the area around Bucha - with new discoveries ongoing
Almost three months after Russian soldiers withdrew from towns and villages neighboring Ukraine’s capital Kyiv, bodies of local citizens are still being discovered, The Guardian reported.
At least 1000 bodies of civilians have been found in the area around Bucha since the Russian retreat, with many of them buried in mass graves, the daily reported.
One man’s body was found next to a police checkpoint used by Russian soldiers. Local men stumbled across it while plowing a field near Zahaltsy, a small village west of the Ukrainian capital.
“All signs indicate that this man was murdered by Russian soldiers. We have found more bodies around checkpoints in this area,” Vyacheslav Tsyliuryk, the head of the local police unit, told The Guardian.
“We believe this person was heading towards his home when he was shot,” he said.
Ukrainian police believe that the death of the citizens can be attributed to the Russian soldiers, stating that around 650 of the bodies found were shot in what they consider as executions, the daily reported.
Already in April, satellite images showed the brutality of Russian forces in Ukraine as mass graves were discovered in Bucha and other towns around Kyiv.
In May, Ukraine sentenced the Russian tank commander Vadim Shishimarin to life in prison after he was found guilty of shooting dead an unarmed 62-year-old man as he was riding his bicycle down a village road.
Russia still denies that its troops targeted civilians during the invasion; however, Ukraine claims that over 11,000 crimes may have occurred, according to the BBC.
On Tuesday, US Attorney General Merrick Garland announced the launching of a task force to help “identify, apprehend, and prosecute” those involved in war crimes in war-torn Ukraine.
Those bags look pretty clean for having been buried for weeks.
In before someone tells us that the Soros backed Zelensky or Nazi Ukrainians ordered their slaughter
So you know about that!
With what resources? Let the EU or the UN handle it.
I doubt the bodies were buried in bags..........................
On a purely theoretical basis, murdering civilians when you take over an area is about as a self-defeating action as you can get. Using the cover of an invasion to take revenge on your fellow citizens, settle scores, eliminate internal opposition is at least as likely, if not more so.
“I doubt the bodies were buried in bags..........................”
Yeah Putards are some real rocket scientists...
I’ll guess the premise is the bodies were placed in bags after they were found.
That’s what some real journalists have discovered.
People were executed for “ cooperating” with the Russians, as a lesson
“Real journalists.”
What planet are you from?
A twofer - you can smear the Russians at the same time.
People should read about what happened in France after the German occupation ended in WWII.
The Commies who were part of the Resistance offed many, many enemies - including other Resistance people who arguably fought harder against the Germans than the Commies.
This was easy-peasy for the kind of slime that oozes in after the action.
Invading armys do not put murdered citizens in body bags as they are buried.
If there are bodies in those bags in the first place. Remember the video of the body bag moving in the propaganda video a few weeks ago?
I did not see that.
The Russians must not be using 9mm ammo since the lungs are still in the bodies.
Those are not body bags. And that does seem to be a hoax. I have no dog in the fight in Ukrane. Just as when i was active sitting 30 miles off of Iran and Iraq started shelling Iran, i just smiled and said thank you Lord.
Theprint.in is an Indian site. The many stories out of India showing people awakening at their own funerals eventually get to be funny.
Yeah. Well that weak attempt at pro-Uke propaganda was pretty obvious. They seem to have improved their lies somewhat. Still too over the top though.
Propaganda and deception is harder than most people think. The Brits are masters at it. Russia and Eastern Europe are pretty ham-handed. It still works pretty well on the gullible.
