Bodies seen strewn across road in town near Kyiv

Journalists from the AFP news agency with the first Ukrainian troops to enter the town of Bucha after Russian troops retreated have seen at least 20 bodies strewn along a single road.

Bucha, just outside Kyiv, has witnessed some of the heaviest fighting in recent weeks.

In footage posted online, bodies were seen along a road in the town as if they had been dumped from the back of a truck. All appeared to be wearing civilian clothes.

Some have their hands tied, with bullet wounds to the head.

Footage shows residential buildings with gaping holes from shellfire, and crushed cars littering the streets.

Bucha - along with nearby Irpin - has seen weeks of fierce fighting, as the Russians tried to encircle the capital.

That's really sick - and I mean that in the traditional sense of the word.  =(

Ugh  =(

Do they want foreign intervention?  Seems like going on a genocidal rampage against civilians is a good way to get it.

If this is accurate looks like the Russians have pretty much pulled out of the Kyiv area

Breaking: US is expected to help facilitate transfer of tanks from NATO allies to Ukraine, according to senior US officials. The tanks will be Soviet-era T-72 tanks, which Ukrainian military has experience operating and will be delivered “within days, not weeks,” I’m told.

One commander said all men aged between 18 and 60 had been rounded up and executed by Moscow's soldiers

Whether true or propaganda, that could drive a lot of Ukrainian men to either flee or fight. No middle ground.

There are "allegations" out there that the Russians are mining nearly everything they can as they pull back, even bodies in the streets.  [barf]

Don't think the Soviets Russians allow cameras in their labor camps and gulags.

Russians die after Kharkiv locals hand out poisoned pies, Ukraine says

The pies were handed out in the Kharkiv region, Ukraine saidImage caption: The pies were handed out in the Kharkiv region, Ukraine said

Two Russian soldiers died and 28 were hospitalised after local people in the Kharkiv region of Ukraine gave them pies laced with poison - according to the Ukraine Ministry of Defence.

In an intelligence update, it described Ukrainians as "resisting the occupiers by all available means" and claimed the affected troops were from Russia's 3rd Motorised Rifle Division.

The ministry also said a further 500 Russian troops were hospitalised with "severe alcohol poisoning of unknown origin".

The BBC has been unable to verify the claims.

All this news about Russian destruction and mass murders lends credence to the suggestion that Putin isn't at all interested in defending Russian-speaking residents in eastern Ukraine. All he's after is the natural resources, and the fewer people and less infrastructure left when he's finished will just make it easier for the Russians to start extracting gas and oil.
