Radio Liberty has reconstructed three days in March 2022 on Yablunska Street in Bucha, minute by minute. It was the time of some of the most intense mass shootings of civilians. Videos from surveillance cameras, unknown footage of murders, secret Russian documents, testimonies of eyewitnesses and the families of the victims. Radio Liberty names the Russian soldiers who were potentially involved in the mass murders on Yablunska Street. They also provide evidence of the involvement of Russian top commanders. This is a story of executioners and their victims — the third part of an investigation by Radio Liberty journalist Dmytro Dzhulai about the mass murders in Bucha.
