“An assistance point and a kitchen have been set up in the centre. Unfortunately said the photojournalist I’m coming out of what one is now mass grave built next to a church by the priest for dead citizens. The stories of the survivors are chilling to say the least. We had already seen a terrible situation in Irpin, but we didn’t expect it here Streets full of corpses, of people executed with their hands tied behind their backs. There are no words to describe it all, we also found many people who stayed here during the war.
How were these civilians saved? “They remained locked and hidden in the cellars explained Celesti trying to have as little contact as possible with the Russians, who apparently were here when they saw civilians trying to kill them. Those on the streets were doomed, especially in the last few days when the Russians started killing everyone and mining the area. Yesterday we were in Gostomel and the situation is almost similar but with fewer bodies. The risk said the photojournalist is that this mode was used throughout the retreat. We will continue to investigate these war crimes to try to understand what really happened.
