Russia-Ukraine War – Bucha may only be the beginning as Ukrainian discover more bodies from previously Russian-occupied cities. They fear that Bucha is just a small part of the real scale of casualties during the occupation.
“I think Bucha is just the beginning as we liberate more of our country,” Sviatoslav Yurash, Ukraine’s youngest member of parliament.
“You will see much more horror on your TV screens. We are seeing the horror in real life. We cannot but state our utter shock at the fact this is possible in our time,” he said.
Yurash, 26, who spoke from Kyiv, said he was in nearby Borodianka on Wednesday, which was “badly mauled by the Russians.”
Borodianka is among the places Russians have to go through before reaching the capital city. Like in Bucha and Irpin, it is now being liberated by the Ukrainian forces.
“This is a town which has no military base, had no brigade, had no airport, and Russians hit it with everything they’ve got,” Yurash said.
“They basically destroyed the buildings with air power. There are still people in the rubble. There are residential buildings they destroyed. There are shells lying around the city, and they basically have shown that this war is about destroying common people of Ukraine in the Borodianka area like nowhere else.”
“The point is to get the soldiers the supplies to help there, to defeat the Russians and to keep them out of the major cities, keep them from making more Bucha’s around Ukraine,” he said.
The Russian-Ukraine war is not yet over, President Vladimir Putin has moved his forces to the eastern region. There will be more casualties as this continues to send shockwaves around the world.
