“He wasn’t in the army or anything,” says a friend of one of the victims, fighting back tears. “His only crime was not immediately accepting Russky mir [Russian World].”
from farmsteads and up-and-coming suburbs like Bucha and Irpin, they left behind the wreckage of tanks and armoured cars as well as loot that they could not take with them. But the Russians also left behind evidence of summary executions and random murders—on a terrible scale. On April 3rd Irina Venediktova, the Ukrainian prosecutor-general, said that the bodies of 410 civilians had so far been found around the capital. Nobody doubts that the final toll will be much higher.
Their bodies were exhumed soon after Ukrainian control was restored. All appear to have been blindfolded. Ms Sukhenko’s earrings, a ring and her bloodied chest were visible. A local security official said he believed that Russian troops had tried to get the mayor to cooperate with them. When she refused, they murdered her and her family.
Annalena Baerbock, Germany’s foreign minister, retorted that: “Putin's rampant violence is wiping out innocent families and knows no bounds. Those responsible for these war crimes must be held accountable. We will tighten sanctions against Russia and…support Ukraine even more in their defence.” Charles Michel, president of the European Council, has promised yet more sanctions on Russia and more support for Ukraine.
Corpses are still scattered over Bucha’s streets, two days into a police operation to collect them. The local authorities say that at least 280 have been buried in a makeshift mass grave. About 30 bodies, some in black bags, were still left exposed. A day earlier, reporters had seen bodies, apparently of civilians, littering the roads, up to 20 in one street. Locals say that Russian troops had shot them for no reason.was able to verify reports of what appear to be summary executions.
