It was thanks to satellite images that the first mass grave of civilians was identified near St. Andrew’s Church, just a few kilometers from Kyiv.
It would take another two weeks, after the withdrawal of Russian troops, for the full scale of the massacre to come to light.
Eyewitness accounts revealed the unspeakable: civilians shot dead in the streets, in their cars, in their homes… bodies found with their hands and legs tied, executed.
In total, 509 civilians were killed during the occupation of Bucha.
A war crime. A crime against humanity that must be prosecuted.
Three years later, war crimes in Ukraine continue: child abductions, torture, rape, bombings of civilians…
Ukraine asks for only one thing: a just and lasting peace.
