Pavlyuk, 53, was a surviving resident of besieged Ukrainian town where gruesome evidence of killings and torture has come to light following withdrawal of Russian forces. He told when Russian troops came they killed all the men who were younger than 50, including two of Pavlyuk's friends.
Pavlyuk was given 20 minutes to bury them. He showed shallow graves he hastily dug, each marked with a plank of wood topped with a religious icon. He wanted to give whatever dignity he could.
"But it's too shallow," Pavlyuk said. "I just wanted to protect them from the dogs."
Pavlyuk and other residents spoke about after Russian forces departed Bucha, leaving a trail of death, destruction, terror and trauma that has shaken the international community. Hundreds of people have been killed during the occupation. When ABC News arrived on Tuesday, bodies still lay in the streets. World leaders have called for an investigation whether war crimes, including genocide, were committed.
When Russian troops arrived in Bucha, everyone for documentation and forced the men to strip naked. They immediately shot killing anyone deemed a threat, without asking any questions.
The mayor of the nearby village of Motyzhyn, OLGA SUKHENKO, and her family met the same fate. ABC News witnessed their lifeless bodies.
Russian soldiers took over Pavlyuk's apartment building, turning the homes of Ukrainian families into dormitories for drunk, violent thugs.
Pavlyuk faced constant fear of an arbitrary killing or a random act of violence, like when a friend was killed by a grenade thrown as a joke by a drunk soldier. His friend's body parts lay outside on the ground for days until Pavlyuk was allowed to gather, put them in a bag and bury them in a grave next to his two other friends.

Tetyana, who identified herself by her first name and patronymic but did not give her family name, was released after being held for four days. Her husband was nowhere to be seen for several days, until she was told about some bodies in a basement stairwell of the building where she and her husband lived. "I recognized him by his sneakers, his trousers. He looked mutilated, his body was cold," she said. "My neighbor still has a picture of his face. He had been shot in the head, mutilated, tortured."

Then you'll have a nice clean post. ;0)
curious lack of blood from a head wound...

Post #20 on the above thread is of a recently killed terrorist. Several things of note:
Obvious blood.
His face is visible.
Both of his ankles are in extremely awkward and painful (well - not to him, he’s dead) positions.
That is one thing I’ve noticed in a lot of photos of people killed by violence - the awkward positioning of their legs and arms.
“curious lack of blood from a head wound”
There appears to be a red colour to the immediate right of the head, on the pavement/sidewalk, which is higher than the road. It the background there are a lot of water puddles on the road, suggesting rain.
Does that help explain it?
And hands tied with a scarf
ITS A WAR!, its supposed to be brutal, ever read a real book? Seen the movie “We were solders” ‘saving private ryan? “ What did you expect? Tea a biscuits and a polite knock at your door?
If the Russians left Bucha on March 30th and the mayor pronounced Bucha free of Russian soldiers on March 31st, why’d they leave the bodies in the street for 2 days?
Why did many of the bodies have white armbands, signifying they were Russian or Russian supporters?
Why were food boxes found near the bodies as if they’d been dropped suddenly? There are credible reports throughout Ukraine of Russian soldiers handing out food boxes to civilians, which would explain the boxes found near the victims.
It’s highly likely that these ppl were actually killed by the Azov Battalion when they appeared in the town on March 31st per the mayor. They had vowed to clear the town of any Russian supporters or collaborators they could find, which would most likely be those wearing white armbands.
Ukraine has lied about many aspects of this military operation from day 1. Anything Ukrainian supporters or officials claim at this point is highly suspect, which should be the common sense approach to any issue IMO.
You forgot to add, “Heil Putin” on the end of your post.
I’ve noticed that too.. but in these photos NONE of them look that way.
Finland and Sweden are going to join NATO in a few weeks. Obviously, they have better intel than you do sitting in your arm chair this morning. Are they Azov nazis, too? Maybe neocons run Sweden now? LOL.
Russian pigs.
