Northwest of Kyiv in the town of Bucha, Ukrainian soldiers pulled the bodies of civilians off the streets with cables. Using cables was the only way to avoid the booby-traps left by the Russians in some of the bodies.
This is the Ukrainian city — Bucha, after being deoccupied. Dead bodies of civilians with hands tied and bullet holes in their heads from behind. This is 2022. Is it fascism or genocide? What's this? Europe, USA, how did we let this happen? pic.twitter.com/6PQRjslANZ
