Hundreds buried in mass grave in Bucha, near Kyiv

Ukrainian forces have buried hundreds of people in a mass grave in a commuter town outside Ukraine’s capital, Kyiv, after retaking control of the area from Russian troops, according to an official.

''In Bucha, we have already buried 280 people in mass graves,'' Mayor Anatoly Fedoruk told the AFP news agency by phone on Saturday.

He said the heavily destroyed town’s streets are littered with corpses.

''All these people were shot, killed, in the back of the head,'' Fedoruk said.
