BUCHA, Ukraine — Almost 300 people have been buried in a mass grave in Bucha, a commuter town outside Ukraine’s capital Kyiv, its mayor tells AFP, after the Ukrainian army retook control of the key town from Russia.

“In Bucha, we have already buried 280 people in mass graves,” mayor Anatoly Fedoruk tells AFP by phone. He says the heavily destroyed town’s streets are littered with corpses.
