A new mass grave with dozens of civilian bodies was found yesterday, Saturday, in Buzova, a village near Kiev that was recovered days ago by the Ukrainian army, a local official said.
LITTLE BY LITTLE ALL DEVELOPMENTS
Taras Didić, a community leader in the Dimtrivka municipality, which includes Buzova and several other adjacent villages, told a Ukrainian television station that the bodies were found in a ditch near a petrol station. Their number has not yet been ascertained, he explained.
"Now we are returning to normal life, but during the occupation we had 'hot spots', many civilians were killed," Didić said.
This information cannot be independently verified.
Ukrainian media had reported in early April about dozens of dead in and around the village of Buzova[/B], about 30 bodies.
The discovery of mass graves and bodies of civilians in towns and villages around Kiev recaptured by Ukrainian forces after the Russian army withdrew caused an international outcry, especially in Buzza, a northwestern suburb of the Ukrainian capital.
Yesterday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said on Saturday that the threat to Kiev had been de-escalated, but that the Ukrainian army was now ready for a tough battle with the Russians in Donbass, in the eastern part of the country. Ukrainian officials have in recent days called on the civilian population in the eastern sectors of the country to flee the area in view of the escalation of hostilities.
