Ukrainian authorities exhumed three bodies from a newly found grave near Bucha, the Kyiv suburb where alleged atrocities by Russian troops spurred global outrage.
BORODYANKA, Ukraine — Ukrainian authorities exhumed a communal grave near the city of Bucha on Thursday, suggesting further killings by Russian forces in an area where evidence of alleged atrocities against civilians spurred global outrage.The unmarked grave containing the remains of three men was identified near the town of Borodyanka, officials said, after a local man who had buried the bodies there almost a year ago returned to the area and informed local authorities about it.
Andriy Nebytov, police chief for the Kyiv region, where Bucha is located, said that civilians at times have been reluctant to report incidents of violence they witnessed, even long after the Russian forces who carried them out retreated in defeat.“It is difficult to evaluate the actions of people who have experienced such fear,” Nebytov told reporters at the site. “Russians killed and destroyed in front of their eyes, then [residents] buried these people.
The grisly scenes in Bucha and surrounding towns galvanized global support for Ukraine’s and hardened Ukrainian opposition to making any concessions to Putin. In Bucha itself, it took authorities until late summer to reach what they believed was a final accounting of those killed, the vast majority of which showed signs of being tortured, shot or beaten to death., and 13,000 wounded, according to the United Nations. But officials acknowledge the true toll may be much higher.
