    Known to locals as Polny Pizdets.

    A small chuckle amid the darkness: sent a friend some suggestions about places to go where Russian army did awful things. He replies: I sent a screenshot to my security guy to check a route and he said “I’m having trouble finding Pizdets polny on the map.”

    Eleven people simply could not survive the month-long ordeal. That’s not counting the people who were shot or died in shelling.

    "Nearly 380 people were held against their will in the basement of the school, used as a human shield by Russian troops, who made it their headquarters," reports from a village outside Kyiv.

    I guess this military “political preparedness” kit wasn’t much help during the Russian retreat because they left it behind.

    Shaun Walker paints a portrait of a Ukrainian town under Russian occupation and leaves nothing out.

    Me and photographer spent two days in Trostianets after it spent 30 days under Russian occupation. Systematic looting and violence has left people in this sleepy town close to Russia furious and disgusted with their neighbours. Story here:

    Part of Russia’s response to the evidence of war crimes left behind by their troops in Bucha has been to blame the Ukrainians for killing their own people after Russia’s retreat. That doesn’t square with what we saw on the ground. My report for

    Part of the Russian response to Bucha has been to blame the killings on the Ukrainians themselves, arguing they supposedly happening after the Russians retreated. I won’t post the photos here but it was obvious the bodies we saw were dead far longer than three or four days.

    One of the mass graves in Bucha. We saw civilians’ bodies littered in the streets and dumped behind buildings. Most with gunshot wounds to the head. Some with their hands tied behind their backs. Evidence of war crimes that took place during the Russian occupation of the town.
