"The corpses that are dotted with everything around." The whole world discusses photos from Buchi after the departure of the Russian troops

Since the Ukrainian army returned Buchu and other cities of the Kyiv region, journalists and eyewitnesses publish more and more evidence of war crimes - photographs of murdered people in civilian clothes on the streets, mass graves and executed cars on the roads. The Russian Ministry of Defense called these materials "the next provocation of the Kyiv regime."

“If you say that Russian soldiers are people ...” - he slowly pronounces on a male voice on Twitter on April 1. The shooting is carried out through the windshield of the machine. The hand falls into the frame on the steering wheel, the driver maneuvers, going around the corpse on the road, and completes the phrase: "It is just for generally the understanding of what happened here."

He passes by at least ten human bodies, one of the dead as if still sitting on a bicycle that had fallen on his side.

“My brother sent me this. The city of buch to the north-west of Kyiv. The number of dead citizens only on one street ... I just can’t even digest it, ”the description of the video says.

On April 2, the regional center of buch, 30 kilometers from Kiev, where about 37 thousand people lived before the war, returned to the control of the Ukrainian military. Immediately after that, terrible shots began to appear in social networks and the media. According to Mayor Anatoly Fedoruk, the destroyed streets were "strewn with corpses."

From the moment of liberation of the city in mass graves, 280 people were buried, he told AFP . The agency correspondents counted in Buch "at least 20 bodies on the same street, including one with hand -tied hands."

“16 of 20 corpses found on one of the streets of Buchi lay either on the sidewalk or on the sidelines. Three corpses lay in the middle of the road, and one more in the courtyard of the house. An open Ukrainian passport lay on the ground next to a man whose hands were tied behind a piece of white fabric. All of them were dressed in civilian clothes: winter coats, ordinary or sports jackets, jeans or sports, sneakers or boots. Two of them lay near bicycles, another - next to the abandoned car. Some lay faces up, with twisted limbs, others - face down, ”the city journalists described .

A photo of the dead inhabitants of Buchi with their hands tied behind their hands was published yesterday on Twitter, an adviser to the head of the office of the President of Ukraine Mikhail Podolyak. “These people were not the military,” he wrote. - They did not have weapons. They did not pose a threat. How many more cases are there now in the occupied territories? "

“A huge number of civilians of the dead on the road are young, elderly. It is clear that people were traveling on a bicycle, a detonation took place, and they remained forever on the streets of their native city, ” said Ukrainian journalist Dmitry Komarov, who entered Buchu with the military. According to him, in the city the doors of entrances, playgrounds and abandoned cars can be mined, now sappers are working there.

Officially, the Russian authorities did not comment on the allegations of the murder of civilians in Buch. But in the telegram channel of the Russian Ministry of Defense, a repost appeared from the anonymous channel “War with Fakes”, the authors of which claim that shooting with the dead on the streets of Buchi is “staged”.

“They shot one in the back of the head. He fell. Women screamed "

The Human Rights Watch international human rights organization has published today Ukrainians confirming reprisals with civilians in different cities of the country, including in Buch.

When the Russian military occupied Buch

The first reports of the Russian military in Buch appeared on February 25, on the second day of the war. In the city there were fierce battles.

“The enemy continues to shell at home, cars, kill civilians and even children, robs shops. It is impossible to deliver humanitarian goods: a community in the siege of the enemy, ” wrote the Buchansky City Council in early March.

On March 22, the head of the Kiev regional military administration, Alexander Pavlyuk, said that Bucha and Gostoel are under the control of the Russian army.

The local teacher told human rights activists that on March 4, the Russian military executed one man and threatened the execution of another four. That morning, she heard shooting and saw how three Russian armored personnel carriers and four KamAZs drove along her street. The woman, along with her two dogs, hid in the basement, she heard how they knocked out the front door in her house, and then in Russian they demanded: “Come out immediately, or we will throw a grenade.”

The woman shouted that she was in the basement, and went out with her raised hands. Outside she was met by three Russians - "two soldiers and commander." They checked her phone, and then demanded to go with them. On the way, the Ukrainian said, she saw how the other military went around the houses of her neighbors.

People were gathered on the site in front of the office of the company for renting warehouses. Basically there were women, but there were several men over 50 years old - only about forty people. The Russian military was interested in Terborne participants.

“At some point, they brought one young man, then four more. The soldiers ordered them [to remove] boots and jackets. They made them kneel on the side of the road. Russian soldiers pulled off their T -shirts, from behind and through their heads. They shot one in the back of the head. He fell. The women screamed. The remaining four men were just kneeling. The commander told the rest of the people in the square: “Do not worry. You are all normal, but this is dirt. We are here to cleanse you of dirt,” the woman recalled.

A few hours later, people began to be diluted back home; When the storyteller left, four men remained on their knees. On March 9, when the interlocutor Human Rights Watch was able to leave the buch, she saw that the body of the murdered man was still at the place of execution.

Another local resident, 40-year-old Dmitry, told human rights activists that he was able to flee from the sheated Buchi on March 7-about five kilometers to the village of Vorzel in the Irpensky district, he and other refugees walked on foot, wrapped in white sheets and waving them over their heads.

In the village of Dmitry, along with the locals, two nights were hiding in the basement of a two -story house. There, Dmitry saw a woman with gunshot wounds of her chest and legs - according to him, people in the basement said that the day before, Russian soldiers threw a smoke bomb inside, several people panicked and ran out into the street where they began to shoot at them. A 14-year-old teenager was killed by a shot in the head, and the woman was injured. Dmitry recalled that she died the next day, March 8; He helped bury her near the bomb shelter.

"The barbarians tried to burn them right there, on the sidelines"

Messages about the murders of civilians come from other areas of the Kyiv region.

The liberation of Irpen, cities with a population of about 60 thousand people, located 40 kilometers from Kiev, were announced on March 28. Then the mayor Alexander Makrushin said that in the city, according to preliminary data, up to 300 civilians died.

“I will tell you, maybe someone will not like it, but this is true. They were crushed by tanks of Ukrainians who were killed, just tortured, they simply tortured in asphalt. It was scary to look at it, ” said Makrushin.

On March 15, the German television channel ZDF published a Video from a drone, who was photographed by journalists, who photographed how Russian soldiers shoot a peaceful resident on the E-40 highway near Kiev.

The video was shot on March 7th. The drone cut a Russian military car a few meters from the gas station, on it was a mark of the sign V.

Following the set shows that several cars pass along the highway. Perhaps noticing the military, they begin to turn around, one car stops. A man comes out of it, he raises his hands and drops almost immediately, grabbing his stomach. The military with white bandages run up to him, at this time passengers get out of the car.

On April 1, BBC managed to find out the names of these people. The deceased driver is Maxim Ioveenko. According to the publication, his wife Ksenia, the Russian military "shot in the car." Soldiers released the six -year -old son of the spouses Joveenko and the elderly mother of one of the friends of Maxim.

The BBC correspondent Jeremy Bowen saw Jobenko’s burned car and suggested that the Russians could have set fire to it to hide the murder of unarmed civilians.

On the evening of April 2, the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine spoke about four or five corpses of naked women found on the road 20 kilometers from Kiev. “The barbarians tried to burn them right there, on the side of the road,” the department wrote, posting a photo on which tires covered with a brown coverlet.

This picture was published by the photographer Mikhail Palinchak. He wrote that under the veil-the bodies of one man and two or three naked women.

In the village of Motyzhin, the Makarovsky district of the Kiev region, yesterday, they found the dead older of the village of Olga Sukhenko, her husband and son, whom the Russian military stole on March 23.

UNIAN agency published a photo of the mass grave.

In the Motzhin group on Facebook, the obituary to the Sukhenko family was published . “They worried about the village, tried to keep in touch with everyone, help food, and maintain a word. They made the impossible - without humanitarian corridors organized the evacuation of villagers and their families with children who came to Motyzhin from Kyiv as a safer place. A particularly brave man was Alexander, who each time returned to help others, because every close to him became a family, ”so the villagers recall the dead.

The Deputy Prime Minister of Ukraine Irina Vereshchuk called the murder of Olga Sukhenko a war crime.

Today, the Ukrainian edition of Babel published a photo report from the small village of Dmitrovka in the Buchansky district. The pictures show many burned cars and the bodies lying nearby, many of them are burned.

“A few days ago the village was liberated by the Ukrainian army,” the newspaper writes. - Now its inhabitants are returning to the village. They disassemble the rubble, tighten the windows and remove the corpses with which everything around is dotted. Some of the killed hands are connected. This indicates that Russian soldiers purposefully shot the civilian population. This is genocide. "

"Capification" of the Kyiv region

The TV channel referred to the commander of one of the units of Morpokhov Alexei Shabulin.

“My great -grandfather went through the entire World War II, and until 1953 he drove fascist evil spirits under the name of Bandera. Now I am a glorious successor of this tradition, now my time has come. And I will not disgrace my great -grandfather and get to the end, ” said Shabulin in the Runews24 channel published on Rutub.
