A horror gallery in a dead end street. After Bucha, from Irpin to Borodyanka, come new pubic images. As the Ukrainian counteroffensive gains ground, atrocities surface in the path of retreating Russian forces. Driven by a sense of impunity or the urgency to flee, Moscow’s soldiers have abandoned, executed and dumped on street corners corpses, mass graves, bodies torn apart by abuse. “In the areas liberated from the racist occupiers, numerous cases of torture of civilians have been recorded,” reads the latest complaint from the human rights chief of the Ukrainian parliament, Lyudmila Denisova. “In the city of Irpin, a northwestern suburb of the capital that was captured by the Russians a week ago, children under the age of 10 were killed with signs of rape and torture. «In the Kyiv region said Denisova for three weeks the “Prolisok children’s camp housed the base of a racist army unit. Five dead men were found in the basement with their hands tied behind their backs. They were tortured and then killed in cold blood. One of the victims had a crushed skull.
At least 158 children were victims
A nightmare where children continue to experience trauma and suffering. At least 158 have died in the Russian fire, according to the Kiev toll, while two million have fled the country. After the slaughter of Bucha, of which macabre details continue to emerge, such as the display of six civilian bodies burned to hide the marks of the torture they had suffered, the picture of horror widens and lets in the fear of cruel violence the areas still back under control of Moscow Armed Forces. After the dismayed reaction of the international community to the shameful pictures in the small town on the outskirts of Kyiv, Ukraine warns that the Russians could step up their efforts to cover up their crimes.
Russia continues to deny: Fake News Phono
As Russia continues to deny the allegations, citing fake news and elaborately edited videos of Western propaganda, the remains of the victims of the raids continue to emerge. “Under the rubble of buildings hit by Russian bombing in Borodyanka lie the bodies of about 200 civilians” some fifty kilometers northwest of the capital, along the route that crosses Bucha and Irpin. “On February 24, we were the first city to be bombed. We are now starting to take away the corpses because the Russians didn’t allow us as long as the occupation was on,” said Mayor Georgy Erko. The Russians retreated Friday, but bodies continue to emerge from shallow burials and makeshift hiding spots.
Horrors appear every day. The bodies of three tortured civilians were found in the Konotop district of northeastern Sumy, which was also recently captured by the Ukrainians, according to the head of the local regional military administration, Dmytro Zhyvytskyi.
Kyiv resists the offensive, Mariupol is isolated
The Russian offensive, held by the resistance in the Kyiv region, which has entered its fortyfirst day, continues to focus on the areas in the southeast on the outskirts of the Donbass. Attacks continue on the port city of Mykolayiv, a strategic bastion on the way to Odessa, where the Ukrainian General Staff has denounced fresh cluster bomb raids. Civilian shelters and medical facilities, including a children’s hospital, were also attacked, while a CNN crew risked being hit by a grenade thrown yards from their cars. In Pologi, in the Zaporizhia region of southeastern Ukraine, soldiers from Moscow seized a district hospital where they took their wounded, according to a complaint by the regional military administration. Meanwhile, Mariupol remains isolated, the scene of the longest siege, where some convoys of civilians have managed to escape along humanitarian corridors in recent days. But the impossibility for reporters and observers to go the other way because of the Russian fire threat makes them increasingly concerned that Moscow is trying to hide a similar, if not worse, picture than that emerging in the Kyiv suburbs.
