Disgust and horror around the world is causing incredible brutality from Vladimir Putin’s army outside Kyiv. Before leaving the area, Russian soldiers cold-bloodedly executed hundreds of civilians, most of them with a bullet in the back of the head, and scattered their bodies in the streets, leaving some stranded. Ukrainians talk about war crimes, worse than Hitler’s Nazis and ISIS jihadists, while Volodymyr Zelensky talks about murderers and butchers. Reactions in Europe and America are stormy, while the Kremlin speaks of provocations.
An eyewitness complained to the NGO Human Rights Watch that soldiers forced men to kneel, covered their heads with their clothes and executed them with a bullet in the back of the head.
The envoys of SKAI Elli Kasoli and Stergios Tsifoutis they managed to reach the place of the atrocity, and recorded images of horror. “In Bouka we saw with our own eyes the horror… We saw an elderly dead man next to his bicycle, we saw a whole family dead in their cars for days, they had turned into an amorphous mass because Russian tanks had passed over them because they had dismantled them… Shocking images ( …) We also saw mass graves “was the testimony of the SKAI journalist.
Along the way, SKAI’s crew encountered scorched earth and civilians who had fallen dead trying to find safe haven.
In a horror journey, journalists following the Ukrainian army in the operation to retake the city, count at least 20 bodies of citizens scattered on the streets or in the yards of houses.
Some were tragically killed in their vehicles, having been shot … Due to the intensity of the fighting, no one was able to reach the victims.
“The Russian army withdrew, leaving the dead and the ruins behind. Russian tank leaving Bouka, passed over the citizen carSaid the SKAI journalist.
The Ukrainian authorities are talking about people who were executed in cold blood, with their hands tied. According to the mayor, the Chechen fighters, allies of the Russians, who controlled the city, got the green light from Vladimir Putin to start a safari against ordinary citizens.
“The bodies of those executed are still on Jabluska Street. Their hands are tied behind their backs. They were shot in the back of the head. So you can imagine what kind of atrocities they committed here (the Russians) “said the mayor of Bouka Anatoly Fedoruk.
Ukrainian soldiers approach the bodies cautiously. They move them with the help of ropes for fear that the Russians have trapped them with explosives.
Local authorities say the hundreds of war victims ended up in mass graves because the cemetery was too close to the line of fire and they could not be transported there.
Ukrainian prosecutor’s office: Hundreds of bodies have been found around Kyiv
Ukrainian prosecutors investigating possible war crimes committed by Russia have identified 410 bodies in cities around Kyiv and 140 of them were examined, said Attorney General Irina Venediktova, speaking on public television.
On Saturday, Venediktova said Ukraine’s military prosecutor’s office would “collect and maintain evidence of Russian aggression, maintain law and order, and ensure that the rights of the military are respected.”
The reaction of Moscow
The Russian Ministry of Defense speaks of fabricated images, rejecting the allegations of murders of civilians. The Russian media even go so far as to claim that the alleged bodies are moving, citing the videos of the Ukrainian army itself. According to Moscow, Russian forces withdrew from the city on March 30 and Kyiv discovered the bodies 4 days later. At the same time, they blamed Ukrainian forces for the deaths of civilians, saying that the Ukrainians were pounding Bouka with indiscriminate artillery fire.
