Graves of unidentified people who were killed in the city of Bucha during its occupation from Russia, which denies committing any crimes in the city.
A year into the restoration of Butcha
On the other hand, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Friday that Ukraine will “never forgive” the Russian forces, whom he accused of committing “atrocities” in Bucha.
Zerelinsky’s statement coincided with the celebration of the city, near Kiev, the first anniversary of its restoration after 33 days of Russian occupation.
Ukrainian forces recaptured the small towns of Bucha and Irbin, northwest of Kiev, in late March of last year, as the Russian invading forces abandoned their attempt to seize the capital.
“When Bucha was liberated, we saw that Satan was nowhere to be found there, but on earth the ugly truth was revealed to the world about what was going on in the temporarily occupied territories,” Zelensky said.
According to Reuters news agency, international investigators are now collecting evidence in those cities and other places where Ukraine says Russian forces committed widespread atrocities. Russia denies the accusations against it in this regard.
The world had seen horrific pictures of dead bodies lying in the street after Ukraine regained control of the city of Bucha.
Kiev said that the Russian occupation of the town left more than 1,400 dead, including 37 children. More than 175 bodies of people buried in mass graves and torture chambers were found, and the Ukrainian authorities said that “9,000 Russian war crimes have been monitored.”
Zelinsky described the city as a “symbol of atrocities” committed by the Russian occupation forces.
“We will never forget the victims of this war and will certainly bring all Russian murderers to justice. We have never forgiven. We will punish every criminal,” Zelensky wrote in a social media post.
