During seven days in Bucha, reporters documented 208 bodies in graves or lying in the street. The Post documented how for nearly a month, Bucha’s streets became a theater of Russian sadism amid mounting frustration over their battlefield losses.
The civilian killings fit a pattern witnessed across the nation during more than six weeks of war. As investigators comb territory around Kyiv from which Russian forces withdrew in early April, mass civilian graves have been found in most towns. In Bordyanka, Vorzel, Moshchun and Makariv, Post reporters have documented cases of indiscriminate shelling of civilian areas, torture and summary executions.
Yulia and Ivan lived a love story. When Ivan moved into the young woman’s apartment block just off Yablunska Street, he knew that her father was skeptical that anyone would be good enough for her. But he won him over in the end, she said. The couple married on a spring day in 2017, and took wedding-day photos in Bucha’s warm, leafy park. They had a child, Sasha, whose eyes were as blue as her mother’s.
Residents from the area mostly spoke on the condition of anonymity, citing fears that Russian forces would return.March 3, 2022 4:52 pmI do not recommend getting closer to the windows.Entering the town along the railway line, the heavy vehicles gouged deep paths through the fields. Ukrainian soldiers made frantic phone calls telling residents to hide. Ivan, 43, was at work at his construction company, and he sheltered there. Yulia was also at work, with Sasha.
Food and feces were still rotting in the rooms this week, alongside empty bottles of wine, vodka, grain alcohol, prosecco, gin, rum and beer — and a 4.5-liter magnum of Chivas Regal scotch, which can sell for more than $300, with a metal pouring cradle. In the group chat among residents of the nearby apartments, questions about the families in the basement grew frantic. “What is happening in there,” one user wrote repeatedly. “Someone please, if you have information, please share it.”
Post reporters saw dozens of civilian cars still sitting there, riddled with bullet holes — even those bearing scrawled markings that read “children” in Russian. Small coats were visible inside several vehicles. In garages by Building 12, residents heard the screams of a female doctor and several men they did not know as Russian troops barricaded them inside a garage and set fire to the building. The outlines of their torched remains, since removed, are still visible in the ash.Investigators have also gathered evidence of what they say could have been rape inside the glassworks. Among the filth they found condoms and a woman’s black bralette.
In the office building basement, Sasha kept asking about her father. “You’ll see him soon,” Yulia recalls telling her. Yulia and Sasha left the basement the next day after Russian soldiers told women with children under 8 years old that they could leave. They had been held there for five days.
