The mass killings in the city of Bukha on the outskirts of Kiev were “the revenge of the Russians “for the Ukrainian resistance,” said Anatoly Fedoruk, the mayor of the city, in an interview with the Italian newspaper Corriere Della Sera.
Hundreds of bodies were found on the streets of Bouka after the withdrawal of Russian troops last week, as shown by satellite images of the Maxar company. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and Ukrainian officials have said Russian soldiers committed serious war crimes in the city, while Moscow insists it has denied the allegations.
“People in my town were shot out of fun or anger “ said the mayor of Bouka to Corriere Della Sera.
“The Russians were shooting at everything that was moving: “Buka is the Russians’ revenge for the Ukrainian resistance,” he said, adding that parts (of the city) had been “turned into a concentration camp” without food or water and “whoever he dared to go out to look for food, he was shot. “
“It may not there is a face to face meeting “with Putin,” Volodymyr Zelensky said in a speech in the shadow of the Bukha massacre, which has caused an international uproar.
However, he referred to the continuation of the negotiations. As he mentioned, the possibility of holding more talks with Russia is a challenge, but there is no other option. “The question is not whether there will be negotiations, but how strong you are at the negotiating table,” he said.
“Ukraine will look for potential war criminals and prosecutors in other countries will deal with them,” Zelensky said.
The speaker of the State Duma (lower house) Vyacheslav Volodin claimed that the accusations of war crimes in Bouka were false.
Reuters reports he said the resulting images were “a staged show” and a “challenge” aimed at discrediting Russia.
Days after the withdrawal of Russian troops from the city, the Ukrainians were still finding dead in the yards and on the streets, transmit from Bukha to New York Times journalists Carlotta Gall and Andrew Kramer.
Some of the people were found face down, or curled up, beaten while riding bicycles or while walking on the street or in the basements of houses.
In the precinct of the church of Agios Andreas, in Bouka, one of the greatest atrocities of the 21st century is recorded. The Russians executed hundreds of Ukrainians and buried them en masse in an area of a few tens of meters.
The atrocity that took place in the Ukrainian city was recorded by SKAI with their envoys Elli Kasolis and Stergios Tsifoutis.
The horror of the Russian invasion has no limit as, as the report shows, lifeless bodies are lying in the middle of the streets. ‘
