Sunday, April 3, in Boutcha (Ukraine), 30 kilometers northwest of kyiv, dozens of civilian bodies were discovered. The first edifying testimonies of the inhabitants target abuses by the Russian army.

In Boutcha (Ukraine), a town of 36,000 inhabitants, the din of bombs never stopped for more than a month, day and night, daily. It is one of the suburbs of kyiv (Ukraine) where the fighting was fiercest and closest. In a street, for 300 meters, about twenty bodies of civilians mown down by the war line the ground. Unarmed and sometimes elderly men, two of them dead on their bicycles.

These Ukrainians died recently, but it is impossible to know when and how they were killed. One of them has his hands tied behind his back, with a white cloth. In Boutcha, the city authorities had to dig three mass graves to bury the bodies of around 300 civilians. The inhabitants are paralyzed, and want everyone to know what happened here.
