Journalists from The Associated Press found the bodies of at least 21 people at various places around Bucha, in the north-west of the capital.

He claimed that some of the women were raped before being killed and after that the Russians burnt their bodies. At the same time, President Zelensky said, “The time has come to do everything possible to make the war crimes of the Russian army the last sight of such evil on earth.”
Zelensky said his government would take steps to create a special justice system to investigate every crime committed by the Russian military in Ukraine. Meanwhile, Russia’s Defense Ministry said in a statement that the photos and videos of the bodies “have been arranged by the Kyiv regime for Western media”. There is no mention of any violence or persecution by the Russian soldiers who left. The ministry said “not a single civilian” in Bucha faced any violent action by the Russian military.
