Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleBUCHA, Ukraine — Fifty-seven people were buried in a mass grave in Bucha, a town outside Kyiv recently retaken by Ukrainian forces from Russian troops, a local official says as he shows AFP the slit trench where the bodies lay.
“Here in this long grave, 57 people are buried,” says Serhii Kaplychnyi, who identifies himself as head of the rescue services in Bucha and who was organizing the recovery of the bodies.
The mass grave is behind a church in the town’s center. Some of the bodies were either unburied or partially buried in the earth.
