What happened in the Kyiv region

• Part of the Kyiv region was under the occupation of Russian invaders for almost a month. They mocked civilians: they killed, tortured and raped the local population. In total, more than 1,200 civilians became victims of the Russians.
• The Security Service of Ukraine has already identified almost 900 invaders who committed atrocities in the Kyiv region. Several Russian soldiers and officers were declared suspect. For example, commander Vasily Litvinenko. He was “senior” during the occupation of Lipovka, Buchansky district. Prosecutors established that the invader ordered the killing of civilians. Without his permission, the villagers could not even leave their houses to get water.
• There are also the first sentences – 6 Russian prisoners of war received terms from 8 to 15 years.
• When the Ukrainian defenders liberated the region, people began to report the atrocities of the Russians themselves. Ombudsman Lyudmila Denisova said that the hotline for providing psychological support received more than 400 calls with stories of sexual violence against Russians.

The tortured victims are still being found. In particular, on May 21, the bodies of two more civilians killed by the invaders were found in the Buchansky district – an elderly woman and her 27-year-old grandson. They lived in the village of Buzovo.

In addition, a new burial of people was found near Makarov in the Kyiv region – three civilians lay in the pit, among whom was a Czech citizen. Even before the full-scale war, the man worked in Ukraine as a truck driver, and with the outbreak of hostilities he came here as a volunteer.

By the way, President Volodymyr Zelensky warned the aggressor that Ukraine's desire to negotiate is decreasing “with each new Bucha and Mariupol”.< /p>
