A suburban avenue in Bucha became one of the first graveyards for Russia's hopes of encircling and entering Kyiv and then deposing the government of President Volodymyr Zelensky.
Our BBC team was able to get to Bucha because during Friday the final Russian soldiers pulled out, as part of what the Kremlin has presented as a calm and rational decision to concentrate on the war in eastern Ukraine. Elite troops from Russia's airborne forces rode into the town in armoured vehicles light enough to be carried by aircraft. They came from Hostomel airport, a few miles away, which had been attacked and seized by Russian paratroopers landed by helicopter on the first day of the invasion. Even then, there was fierce resistance from Ukrainian forces.The road is narrow and straight, an ideal place for an ambush.
It looks as if Russians, as they prepared to pull out of Bucha, had no such pity. At least 20 dead men were lying in the street as Ukrainian troops entered the town. Some of them had their hands tied behind their backs. The mayor said they had buried 280 people in mass graves. "This is the first bread we've had in 38 days," said a woman called Maria, looking at a plastic bag with some modest looking buns inside. Her daughter Larysa showed me round the Soviet-built apartment building.
Putin could’ve been dealt with, with a mere swipe of a hand. Yet the international community would rather watch this carnage than to be called invaders/occupiers. Meanwhile, strong nations are made weak by loud people who learned no lessons from our pacifist past. Pitiful.
This is the showbiz taxpayers are paying for. Cos NATO play alongside with Ukraine and Russia. So who has the power then? Watch House of Cards. The 'elite countries' are laughing at us and we are paying in every penny.
atanessi And yesterday I went to shop as usual and I got nauseous passing by the intl food area FULL of Russian stuff. Why? Until when? / Und gestern waren wir einkaufen, beim Intl Produkte Regal finden wir so vielen Russischen Produkten. Übel! WARUM? Bis wann REWE_Supermarkt ?
Omg the amount of pro Putin bots on here is atrocious. Come on TwitterSafety get your act together and get rid. Stop telling me they’ve done nothing that goes against your tos. A few have called for out and out murder and you did sfa.
As the BBC carries on warmongering as it’s usual distraction technique- here’s some news they won’t report
They are not even Russian tanks lol. Fake News
World leaders including POTUS BorisJohnson UN NATO have allowed this to happen. You cannot just sit back and tell someone you are naughty and now you can't buy our stuff.
The BBC coverage on both TV and radio looks perfunctory, lightweight and even lazy to me when compared to other international networks such as CNN, CBS, etc. Little analysis, only brief, snapshot-like clips of on-the-ground situations. What do others think, or is it just me?
this is not war by professional soldiers - this is vandalism from the Ukraine Azov nazis
Reason for peace.
Don't play games. Stop ALL relations and trade with fascist Russia.

Now it's Odessa's turn, please close the sky or let the planes against the ships, because they can destroy the city and people, please don't be afraid, Christ and Ukraine will protect you!
Закройте небо, спасите планету от зла!!!!!
Unbelievably sad
The horror of war is unimaginable. I pray for you Ukraine 🇺🇦 🙏
- сионистские марионетки 'ничтожество и Ко' - позор для России.
It's a vicious circle. There's hasn't been a moment in history without war since humans. Vile, crooked 'leaders' starting it, vile, stupid beasts committing atrocities against civilians. Consider that when you think we're the most intelligent living beings on earth.
Bit like Sparkbrook, Birmingham.
CIA orchestrated, zelensky the puppet.
why not let Russia join NATO and EU? This will eradicate Russia reason to invade Ukraine, and solved Europe energy crisis
If the streets are “littered” with Russian tanks (the occupying force) and Ukrainian 👨👩👧 then the missiles have come direct from the Ukraine️ regime sponsored by USA & NATO. The 🌍 👏🇺🇦👨👩👧🩸 All those 💣 the West has provided ? You’ve funded EthnicCleansing. 🤔 Think.
RussiaWarCrimes dobbiethewarprick SlavaUkraini 20fucking22 and this is allowed to happen on the world stage ZZZ= DEATH
Unbelievably sad
U fooled British by lying Ukraine is winning and zelensky is brave while despite war zelensky refused to admit why he refused to take credit for destroying oil depots inside Russia. Why is he so scared when he is winning?
Nazi-russia must be destroyed!
KenneyGeorge One is dealing with the kind of mass executions that were documented at Nuremberg following World War II. The sheer indifference to human suffering and disregard for human life is present today as it was then. This time the Russians are the brutal war criminals.
Will somebody finally tell Ukrainian Nazis from Azov battalion to stop using civilians as human shields in Donbass!
Azov left them there..
DO YOU REMEMBER MARIANA HISTORY.....The BIG LIE!!!
There will be NO fires in hell hot enough for these monsters and their master that ordered these atrocities.

От силы у рашистов есть 3-4 ядерные ракеты которые они засунут под брюхо самолета. Ракеты же с ЯО у них давно ржавые еще с 90х. Сейчас Путин пошел Ва-банк против всего цивилизованного мира. Вопрос лишь в том КТО БУДЕТ СТОЯТЬ НА КОЛЕНЯХ? ЗАПАД ИЛИ ПУТЛЕР? МОМЕНТ ....супер важный
Obscene, disgraceful and unforgivable.
