The atrocities in Borodyanka are ‘significantly more dreadful’ than the scenes in the Ukrainian horror town of Bucha, with residents left to die in the rubble of their bombed homes for a week, Volodymyr Zelensky has said.<\/p>\n

The mass killing of civilians in Bucha, near Kyiv, have been widely condemned by the West as\u00a0war crimes\u00a0with piles of bodies showing signs of torture and execution pictured after it had been recaptured by Ukrainian forces<\/a>.<\/p>\n

But officials have now revealed that even greater damage was done by\u00a0Putin’s thugs in Borodyanka, northwest of Kyiv and about 15 miles from Bucha.<\/p>\n

Zelensky\u00a0said: ‘They have started sorting through the ruins in Borodyanka. It’s much more horrific there, there are even more victims of Russian occupiers.’<\/p>\n

Ukraine’s Prosecutor General Iryna Venediktova said rescue workers recovered 26 bodies from underneath two destroyed apartment buildings, again accusing Moscow of targeting civilian areas.<\/p>\n

‘Just in the rubble of two apartment blocs, 26 bodies were recovered,’ Ukraine’s Prosecutor General Iryna Venediktova said on Facebook. ‘Only the civilian population was targeted: there is no military site here,’ she said, adding it was ‘impossible to predict’ how many more dead there were at the site.<\/p>\n

Venediktova said the Russians have used cluster bombs and heavy multiple rocket launchers ‘that bring death and destruction.’<\/p>\n

‘Evidence of the Russian forces’ war crimes is at every turn,’ she wrote. ‘The enemy treacherously shelled residential infrastructure in the evenings, when there was a maximum amount of people home,’ Venediktova said.<\/p>\n

She accused Russian forces of engaging in ‘killings, torture and beatings’ of civilians, as well as sexual assault. Venediktova said Ukrainian law enforcement officers were collecting evidence from Borodyanka for local and international courts.<\/p>\n

The Ukrainian Parliament added in a tweet: ‘The destruction in Borodyanka was considered even worse than in Irpen and Bucha. The world will soon learn about the atrocities of the occupiers there, but now only one thing is clear – the village in ruins.<\/p>\n

‘Of the 29 high-rise buildings, 21 were damaged, 8 of them were completely destroyed. Rescuers have been dismantling the debris for several days now, so the horrific finds will soon be known to everyone.’<\/p>\n

A shocking photo of a woman waiting for the bodies of her sister and nephew to be found in the rubble of bombed flats in the town was also shared by Ukrainian government sources.<\/p>\n

The photo showed the woman sitting on a chair as rescuers desperately comb for survivors.\u00a0According to locals, the Russians blocked rescue efforts, leaving people buried under rubble for a week before Putin’s forces eventually withdrew.<\/p>\n

The identity of the woman is unclear, although Ukrainian sources say she is named Liudmyla and is from the town. Rescuers are said to have brought her a chair because she had been standing for three days waiting. The building was destroyed on March 1.<\/p>\n

Russian troops withdrew from the Kyiv region about a week ago to regroup in the east, leaving scenes of death and horror in commuter towns around the capital. Ukraine has accused the Russians of executing hundreds of peaceful civilians, some of whom were discovered dead with their hands tied behind their backs, as well as of torture and rape.<\/p>\n

It comes as Kremlin spokesman\u00a0Dmitry Peskov\u00a0repeatedly refused to admit any wrongdoing and described footage of war crimes committed in\u00a0Ukraine<\/a>\u00a0as ‘fake’ and ‘lies’, although he did admit Russia had suffered ‘significant losses of troops’ in the first government acknowledgement of the faltering war.<\/p>\n
