Taras Didic, a community leader in the Dimtrivka municipality, which includes Buzova and several other nearby villages, told a Ukrainian television station that the bodies were found in a ditch near a gas station. Their number has not been verified yet, he clarified.

“Now we are back to normal life, but during the occupation we had ‘hot spots’, many civilians were killed“Said Mr Didic.

The information these are impossible to verify in an independent way.

Ukrainian media reported in early April that dozens of people had been killed in and around the village of Buzova.

The discovery of mass graves and bodies of civilians in towns and villages around Kyiv recaptured by Ukrainian forces after the withdrawal of the Russian army caused an international outcry, especially in Bukha, a northwestern suburb of the Ukrainian capital.

On Saturday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said that the threat to Kyiv had escalated, but that the Ukrainian army was now ready for a fierce battle with the Russians in Donbas, in the eastern part of the country. Ukrainian officials have called on civilians in the eastern part of the country to flee the country in recent days amid escalating hostilities.
