Bucha: The rope is tied on his legs and the charred hole on his forehead, a dead man is located on scrub by the railroad track on the outskirts of Bucha Ukraine.
A haunted figure, the meat is pale yellow as if a candle, located surrounded by leaves falling brown. Only meters (yards) were far away, the bodies of other victims lied in the bushes.
“Don’t touch the body. Maybe mined,” said a police officer, who showed a place where the corpse lay down but asked not to be identified by the name.
Bucha, 37 km (23 miles) northwest of Kyiv, was occupied by Russian forces for more than a month after the invasion of February 24 to Ukraine.
When Russian troops were withdrawn last week, they went back to death in the streets of Bucha, inside the building and buried in shallow cemetery.
Local officials said more than 300 people were killed by Russian forces in Bucha only, and around 50 of them were executed.
The police said Bucha residents had buryed five other bodies under the Non-signed earth bumps that Reuters passed nearby. Reuters cannot verify his account immediately.
Since reaching Bucha on Sunday, Reuters has witnessed the remains of at least five victims who were shot through the head. One has his hand tied behind his back.
The man Reuters saw on Wednesday, wearing blue jeans and winter jackets, lying 100 meters from small graves. Reuters cannot identify the man or determine who killed him.
Witnesses in the city – which have been poorly peeled; The facade was removed and blackened – had told the details about what they said was some other extra-judicial murders in Russian hands. Reuters cannot verify their account independently.
The Ukrainian government accused Russia from genocide and war crimes. The Kremlin dismissed the accusation as propaganda and said his troops did not target civilians.
Russian u.n. Ambassador Vassily Nebenzia told the Security Council on Tuesday that the allegations of abuse were located. He said that while Bucha was under Russian control “not a single civil suffered from all kinds of violence.”
On Sunday, the Russian Defense Ministry issued a statement that all photos and videos published by the Ukrainian authorities accused the “crime” by Russian forces in Bucha was “provocation.”
Chechen soldier
In another incident nearby, through small wood, Builder Eduard Karpenko told how he saw one of his neighbors marched to be shot by a Russian soldier.
He said the victim, Oleksandr Jeremich, was a 43-year-old member of the Territorial Defense forces, the Ukrainian army military reserve. Karpenko shows Reuters copy of the men’s passport but the news agency cannot verify independently of his account details.
Karpenko said the man was marching away from his home by a soldier that two watching Russian troops came from Chechnya, a region in South Russia who had mobilized troops to Ukraine to support Russia.
The soldiers marched the man was not visible, to the end of the wooden fence flanking wood, and then four shots were heard, said Karkenko.
“They took him to the end of the gate and shot him, with the last shot to the head,” Karkenko said, holding his arm as far as it was kind.
Two men with Karpenko, who refused to be identified, confirmed they also saw Jeremich lead and heard shots.
Karpenko said he and the two men were waiting as ordered by the Russian army until night arrived before adventuring to restore the body.
“We covered it in a blanket, then with another, and dragged him to the grave. There is so much blood,” Karpenko said.
He said the body was buried near the park, a place marked with a long wooden peg and a metal frame shaped like a coffin, which was seen by Reuters.
Karpenko and two other men hang baseball caps in the branch on the site where they said the shooting took place.
Chechanya leader Ramzan Kadyrov, a Putin Ally, said in a statement on February 26 that Chechen forces will fight in Ukraine as part of Russian “special military operations” to demilititize the country. Reuters cannot determine whether they operate in Bucha.
