UKRAINE. Borodyanka. 4 May 2022.

Ukrainian officials say Borodyanka, which had a population of 13,000 before the war, is the most thoroughly destroyed place Ukraine has regained control of since the Russian withdrawal. Ukrainian leaders and international visitors consider this shattered town to be a giant crime scene – evidence, alongside the mass graves uncovered in the nearby town of Bucha, of what appear to be war crimes the Russian army committed against Ukrainian civilians. The destruction of residential buildings in Borodyanka, about 50 kilometers northwest of the Ukrainian capital, is significantly greater than in other towns in the Kyiv area.

Residents say that, on Feb. 28, a column of Russian-armored vehicles drove down the main street in Borodyanka, firing randomly into homes, which were largely empty because most residents had remained in their basement shelters since the first appearance of Russian troops.
