Early in April when the Russian troops started moving from northern Ukraine to the southern Donbas region evidence of widespread war crimes was uncovered. Bodies are evidence that is impossible to deny. And Putin’s war on civilians looks a lot like the devastation Hitler wrought in World War II.
The capital city of Kyiv experienced heavy bombing on civilian targets. Hospitals, apartments, and train stations were destroyed.
In northern Kharkiv, Russian shelling has created a cityscape of twisted and burned-out high-rises, where glass and shrapnel cover the ground. And destroyed vehicles and bodies litter the streets.
Terrifying videos have surfaced from Kyiv’s suburb of Bucha, where civilians were shot by Russian troops.
We still know only about a fraction of the war crimes that Russia has already committed. The scope of Russian brutality is yet to be seen. pic.twitter.com/JVCcPUFpSD

Mass graves
Bucha authorities found a mass grave. And the victims buried there included women, as well as a 14-year-old boy.
“In Bucha, we have already buried 280 people in mass graves,” according to Mayor Anatoly Fedoruk. The destroyed town’s streets were littered with dozens of corpses. “All these people were shot, killed, in the back of the head,” Fedoruk said.
