The massacre of civilians committed by Russian troops in their withdrawal from the Ukrainian town of Bucha has caused a wave of horror and indignation.
Ukrainian authorities have reported the discovery of more than 400 bodies in the streets of the northern Ukrainian town near Kiev, which was besieged by Russian troops for weeks and where, after their withdrawal, hundreds of bodies were discovered in its streets, some with their hands tied behind their backs, as they have documented on the ground reporters from Infobae and other international media.
The German daily Bild collected the harsh testimony of two people who survived the massacre, and who recounted the horror. One of them is Irina Abramova, 48, who recounted: “It was March 5. We were at home. Suddenly we heard an explosion: half of our house had been destroyed. Then they started shooting out the window. Get out! , they shouted at us. My husband Oleg came out and asked: 'Don't shoot! There are only civilians here. '”
The soldiers answered him to raise his hands. “When I finally left the house they asked me why I was hiding. I replied that I was afraid, and that they were shooting. His response was to tell me they were Russian, show me the tape of St. George (Russian military insignia) and tell me: 'We are here to free them'”.
“Minutes later, our house started to burn. When Oleg tried to get up to put out the fire, the soldiers grabbed him, took off his sweater, put him on his knees and shot him in the head. Then they began to question me: 'Where are the Nazis? '”
Irina said that her husband was 40 years old, and that she did not reach March 14 when she would turn 41. “I told them to kill me too. One of the soldiers pointed it at me, and I asked him to shoot me and my cat. While holding his gun against me, he said he wouldn't shoot women.”
“For a month we couldn't leave the city, until finally the Russians left. There was a checkpoint that was the only place to get water. They forced us to hand over our cell phones,” says Irina, about the month of Russian invasion in her city, and claims to have told the soldiers: “We have nothing left, you took everything from us.”
Eventually, the Russians threw them out of town with the cry of “Never come back!” “They blamed us for the death of their comrades, but we were old, we hadn't done anything.” His answer was that we were to blame for electing the president (Volodymir Zelensky), thus allowing “the Nazis” to be in power.
According to Irina, the soldiers who killed her husband were fighters from Kadyrovtsy (Chechen's paramilitary fighters unit) because they wore the letter V. “We saw on their faces that they were not Russians. In addition, they spoke with an accent,” he added.
Irina's father, Vladimir, 72, added to his daughter's account: “All our belongings were burned, documents, everything we had. They said they were Russian and they were coming to free us. They dragged Oleg, forced him to kneel, and shot him in the side of the head. Half of his head was shattered.”
