Days after Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, Russian troops took over the city of Bucha, about 30 kilometres outside Kyiv.

After Bucha was liberated, humanitarian agencies found evidence of war crimes.

Two years later, the city has repaired much of its buildings and infrastructure.

Crystal Goomansingh returns to Bucha to learn about the work being done to help heal the mental scars of the children who lived through the massacre.

  1. What happened at Bucha was the russian plan all along. Whenever Ukraine liberates territory they uncover these types of warcrimes. In WW2 we didn’t discover the worst crimes until after they defeated. This is why Ukraine must have victory over russia.

  2. We all know now that Bucha was a deep fake created by UK and White Helmets. All "dead" civilian people were killed long time before filming. In their bodies were discovered the pieces of NATO bomb shells.
    We must know the truth!
