According to accounts, a VILLAGE MAYOR in Ukraine was kidnapped, killed, and placed in a wooded hole alongside her husband and son.

According to neighbours, Russian forces occupying Motyzhyn, 30 miles west of Kyiv, attempted to gain the cooperation of local leaders and slaughtered them when they refused to cooperate.

After Putin’s men withdrew from the Kyiv area and returned to Belarus, the atrocities began.

On March 23, the mayor, Olga Sukhenko, her husband Igor, and their son Alexander were apparently abducted.

Their fate remained unclear until their remains were discovered on Saturday in a shallow grave beneath buildings used as makeshift barracks by Russian forces.

A fourth corpse was discovered but has yet to be recognised.

west of Kyiv, attempted to gain the cooperation of local leaders, then killed them when they refused to cooperate.

According to reports, they were all shot.

Another victim was allegedly shot by Russians and put into a well further in the hamlet.

It happened as stories surfaced of Putin’s butchers killing bound citizens and left their remains scattered over the street in Bucha, near Kyiv.

The withdrawing soldiers are also claimed to have mined homes and booby-trapped bodies.

There have also been allegations that Kremlin troops raped women and “mutilated infants.”

So far, 410 people have been found dead in communities surrounding Kyiv, according to Ukrainian officials.

At least 300 people were slain in Bucha alone, with 57 found in a mass grave.

A 14-year-old kid is thought to be among the dead.

Anatoly Fedoruk, the mayor of Bucha, stated that “all of these people were shot,” adding that 280 more remains had been buried in mass graves across the city.

Wladimir Klitschko, a boxing great, tweeted a video from Bucha showing people “shot in the head with their wrists tied behind their back.”

“This is not a unique military operation,” he explained. “We are seeing genocide.”

According to one allegation from neighbouring Irpin, Russian death squads shot women and girls before driving tanks over them.

In addition, emergency services reported that more than 1,500 bombs were discovered in one day in the recently freed settlement of Dmytrivka.

Ukraine’s president, Volodymyr Zelensky, told CBS News, “They are mining all of this area.”

“Houses, machinery, and even dead people’s bodies are mined.”

“What we’re witnessing is genocide.” The annihilation of the entire nation and its inhabitants.

“We are Ukrainian citizens.” We have about 100 different nationalities.

“This is about the annihilation and annihilation of all of these ethnicities.”

Russia said Sunday night that charges that it targeted people were “false.”

Moscow claims that no people were injured by Russian soldiers and accuses Kyiv of orchestrating the atrocities in Bucha for the sake of western media.

Dmytro Kuleba, Ukraine’s foreign minister, claimed, “Russia is worse than ISIS.”

“They were killing citizens while fleeing – out of rage and just because they wanted to kill,” he told Times Radio.

“We’re still getting bodies, but the figure is already in the hundreds.”

Boris Johnson said that the gruesome photographs are proof that Russia is committing war crimes in Ukraine.

In reaction, he stated that Britain will increase sanctions and military aid.

“I will do all I can to starve Putin’s military machine,” he said yesterday.

“No Kremlin denial or deception can disguise what we all know to be the reality – Putin is desperate, his invasion is failing, and Ukraine’s determination has never been stronger,” he continued.

“We are increasing sanctions and military support, as well as expanding our humanitarian assistance package to assist people in need on the ground.”

“The United Kingdom has been a leader in assisting the International Criminal Court’s investigation into crimes perpetrated in Ukraine.”

“The Justice Secretary has authorised further financial assistance as well as the deployment of professional investigators – we will not rest until justice is delivered.”

The International Criminal Court in The Hague has already launched an investigation into suspected war crimes in Ukraine.

Human Rights Watch also stated that it has recorded examples of Russian forces perpetrating suspected war crimes against people in the seized districts of Chernihiv, Kharkiv, and Kyiv, such as rape and summary execution.

On Saturday, defence troops said that they had retaken control of more than 30 towns and villages in the Kyiv area, claiming total control for the first time since Russia started its invasion on February 24.

“The whole Kyiv region has been liberated from the invader,” stated Ukrainian Deputy Defense Minister Hanna Malyar on Facebook.
