Bucha massacre revealed
April 3, 2022
After Russian troops withdrew from Kyiv's northern suburbs, journalists entered the town of Bucha and found bodies in the streets, in basements, with hands tied behind backs and bullet wounds in their skulls. The images of an executed civilian and a child's bicycle next to a corpse circulated for weeks. War crimes investigators were already on planes.
