Bucha Massacre Discovered

| Ukraine War

After Russian withdrawal from Bucha northwest of Kyiv, Ukrainian forces and journalists found hundreds of civilian bodies — many in the streets, some bound and showing signs of torture or execution. Satellite images (Maxar) proved the deaths occurred during Russian occupation. More than 1,400 civilians were killed in the Kyiv region during the month-long occupation. The ICC opened a war crimes investigation.
