Gruesome evidence points to war crimes on road outside Kyiv – BBC News



The Russian army has pulled out in a hurry from areas it occupied to the west of Kyiv.

The BBC has gained access to places abandoned by Russian forces, shortly after their retreat, and has found evidence of atrocities, that could amount to war crimes.

One shocking incident took place on the E-40 highway, just west of the capital, with the shooting dead of civilians attempting to flee.    

The BBC has also gained access to the nearby town of Irpin, which was heavily fought over but has now been abandoned by Russian forces.

Clive Myrie presents BBC News at Ten reporting by Jeremy Bowen, west of Kyiv, and Orla Guerin in Irpin.

  1. Leave all thoughts of fighting, What is meaning of military that is fighting for land but losing people, you surrender and save people's lives even if it means slavery. Military is also countries citizen and it's surrender would free their lives, Let Ukraine's military do a complete surrender to clear the path for Peace. Signal your military surrender, defeat and peace to stop loss of lives! Come to your self senses. Ukraine to SURRENDER today. Contact Russian military to sign total surrender, ceasefire and peace. Change your citizenship to continue family life or individual for many many years to come. Young or old save lives and leave the war do not fall in this Zelensky trap.
    You were given option to surrender, you fought, that is your sin
    You could have saved their lives and still can reduce further losses.
    This is no military mistake here at all. Can they retreat, NO.

    That is very little £, you plan your retirement with that. You really must be jo'king, give Ukrainians, UK or other countries CITIZENSHIP. Do not show your military steel balls chance is a change, you will not talk or send military military military HELP to Ukrainian foolish minister, that makes you look like what you look like! Go, apologize, never send war aid again, have a wash

  2. Don't the war crimes perpetrated by the Ukrainians, e.g. placing plastic bags over the heads of Russian wounded. Why are we told nothing about these? We are being sold Western propaganda. Don't believe all of it. Question!!!

  4. War propaganda is always on both sides of any military conflict. Atrocities too, it is the nature and logic of war. Propaganda hides atrocities by it´s own military and emphasizes those committed by the opposite side. This is why Ukraine keeps Western journalists away from the front, but so does Russia. What is unacceptable, is a war tribunal in Den Haag that does everything to reveal Russian war crimes but turns a blind eye to what happened on the other side. The difference concerning the media in a autocracy and democracy, is the first is owned by the state and second are owned by economical powers, that own politicians, who run the country. The result is controlled narratives on both sides, not just in times of war.

  7. What about the war crimes committed by Ukraine? There's evidence of them killing captured Russians instead of taking them as POWs. Show both sides!

  8. The Russian army is committing many crimes against civilians in Ukraine. Among the most brutal are the mass rapes of women and, unbelievably, children. The scale ofwar crimes in this category is difficult to measure. Victims often do not talk about what they went through. But even now, it is clear from the testimonies of Ukrainian psychologists who are helping the war victims, that there are dozens of gang rapes on the Ukrainian territories which used to be temporarily occupied by the Russian military. This form of violence is particularly traumatic for survivors of abuse. The war must end so that no woman or child in another country experiences the horror which we now have in Ukraine. What’s more, every war criminal must be punished. In the age of information technology, it is possible to identify and find the culprits! That is why Ukrainians continue to fight against a country that has a much larger number of soldiers and weapons. Support Ukraine in this struggle for peace and justice!

  9. Absolutely unprovoked, unnecessary attack by Putin in Ukraine. He Should be stripped of all clothes dragged outside of his fancy office where he sits back in luxury most of the time and skinned alive part by part.
