Exposing the Russian Military Unit Behind a Massacre in Bucha | Visual Investigations



We spent months in Ukraine, investigating who killed dozens of civilians along one street in Bucha, a normally quiet town on the outskirts of Kyiv. Our visual investigation unmasks the military unit responsible, using exclusive phone records, documents, interviews and thousands of hours of video.

  1. Hi, I’m Yousur Al-Hlou and I produced this visual investigation along with my colleagues Masha Froliak, Dmitriy Khavin, Christoph Koettl, Haley Willis, Alexander Cardia, Natalie Reneau and Malachy Browne. I’ll never forget the reporting trips Masha and I made to Bucha, Ukraine, in early April: we witnessed bodies, some with arms bound behind their backs, strewn along a single street in this town on the outskirts of Kyiv. We decided to investigate who killed them. Eight months later, we know. Using exclusive phone records, documents, interviews and thousands of hours of video, we proved how a single paratrooper military unit, the 234th Air Assault Regiment, killed dozens of Ukrainians on Yablunska Street.

  2. Russian propagandists continue to lie about atrocities like this. They lied about the 2014 invasion, they lied about MH17, and they lied about Bucha and so on. Even now they will deny the very clear evidence. Disgusting human beings all of them.

  3. Россией правят воры и фашисты, а быдло-народ ликует под безумие алкогольных приходов.

  4. How many have died in our human history because of the 1% at the top ordering people to do so. The people fighting are never the ones who start the conflicts. Send the coward putin to the front lines. Make him fight his own war.

  5. This is absolutely disgusting and abhorrent, and also gives us proof that the West needs to continue, or even step up support for Ukraine. All the equipment we send is going towards the prevention of more horrible incidents where civilians and POW’s are executed. We can not, and will not allow these Russian fascists to have their way.

  6. this is really hard to watch for me. I didn't even blink an eye and held my breath because of the video. it really breaks my heart to see the people lying there and how they struggle to meet their families who are trapped in the house. but thanks a lot for this investigative video. I appreciate it profusely. I know very well it must not be easy to do it in the midst of such terrible things

  7. This is not an aberration. Callousness & indiscipline have always been features of Russian culture, especially the military. Add nuclear capability to the mix & you have a sociopathic global thug. Ukraine said enough – the world owes them all the support they need.

  8. Interesting how Russia is always responsible for these crimes … Ukraine and its Neo Nazi nationalist who have been bombarding and who massacred the eastern Ukraine Russian population for the past 10 years are suddenly the angels in this war , they are of course fighting a righteous and clean war …seriously ??

  9. If you feel the media, try to report on the massacres committed by American and allied troops in Afghanistan, Iraq and the theft of Syrian oil by America, don't forget to also report on the execution of prisoners of war by the Ukrainian army. that is if you feel the media is not a mouthpiece for rotten western propaganda

  11. This is the story of just one street where horrific crimes were committed – 36 murders of peaceful Ukrainians were confirmed. But in Bucha there are dozens of times more such streets and thousands of civilians were killed, including women and children. And there were Irpen, Mariupol and other cities and settlements. It's even scary to imagine what Putin's soldiers did there. Genocide of the 21st century
