returning home after the withdrawal of the Russians, the inhabitants of the Kyiv region discover the horror

In the ruins of Boutcha (Ukraine), each passing day brings its share of damning testimonies against the Russian soldiers. “They took him out of the house while he was in his slippers. They asked him to take off his shirt, put him on his knees and killed him”, says a resident about her late husband. For the city of Boutcha alone, at least 300 bodies were buried in mass graves during the Russian occupation.

Nearly a week after the departure of Russian troops from the kyiv region (Ukraine), many residents are returning to their homes. Vita Malko struggles to recognize her town of Borodyanka. Without news of her parents for more than a month, the young woman takes the direction of the family home away from the city: her parents are alive. They say Chechens stole their car. Despite these stories of looting and violence, Russia denies any abuse in the territories it occupied in Ukraine.
