Oh, dear Lord. Please help bring peace to our world and end this insanity. My heart just breaks listening and watching, feeling helpless from across the globe. Praying for a miracle

“I just want to live…Everyone just wants to live!”
Such a reasonable plea! I wish there were a simpler way to stop power hungry people early on.

I want to live’
everyone just wants to live’
thats deeper than the oceans abyss.

Nothing should ever come to this. I don't understand war...This is heartbreaking.

My brave mother lived through this horror in WW2 with three little children, I was the oldest, just
four years old . She was raped daily and damaged her back permanently by having bags of coal thrown on her back to carry to the houses for heat, not our houses anymore, the Russians threw us out . They drove with their scarry tanks through our yard, over the fence to the front door . One Russians took my Dresden Doll from me and sat on the tank, took the rifle and shot it through the head ! Then we were told to leave, never to see our home again . We had no food and my little brother died . We were all starving, eventually the women cut meat from a dead horse lying in the street . We survived ! I am an old woman now and how I wish that I could thank my dear mother for saving my life and my brothers, except for my youngest brother Roland. I am reliving everything be watching the events in Ukraine. Nothing changed, the Russians are still the same, cruel beyond belief !

Russia opened a very vengeance can of worms

I think I understand even less after watching this video.

The people are victims of this war, Russia attacked Ukraina, but the war in Ukrain's east runs already for eight years. And in Ukraine are many armed people, we just don't know who stands behind these killings.
The rezidents suffer is unimaginable, here they are led to speak to public, but what i'm missing in their testimony is the answer on Who has done it. Are they cut out or they simply don't know, I would like to hear from them who has done this crimes.
Russian troops were supposed to leave Bucha on the 30th of march, the man speaks about killings on 31st of march.
I don't know, I just want to know the truth. Suffering people also deserve that the world knows the truth. Because there is so much propaganda in media..
And if these poor people were used in
some propaganda purposes this would be a shame and a crime too.

It’s so painful to watch!
God please protect 🙏🏻😭

Where was the azov battalion that day?

[anandparis-adams]

Just heartbreaking. That poor woman. My heart aches for her. Her life will never be the same. Bodies shot. And then BURNED! These soldiers are as sociopathic as Putin. Yesterday I heard a story from a woman who was raped by Russian soldiers. Unforgivable. And when these sadists are captured are they just going to say "We were only following orders?" I wish that there was something I can do to help. But all I can do is stare in shock and disbelief. Each day the stories are getting worse. 😔💔

As an American, I will help you as our nation can help and more. I am with you!

[DJCandyKid]

Still no evidence or eyewitness of who killed those civilians. But all over telegram there's a video of Azov member talking to other, asking if it's ok to kill anyone who's not wearing blue ribbons. If you pay attention to other videos mainstream show, many of those civilians had white ribbons. Maybe you didn't see video of Bucha major saying that everything is fine the day after Russians left. But when Azov came in 3 days later, there are bodies everywhere..

[Dinkleburge]

May the words of these people be echoed around the world. May the shepherds of this world join together to fight off the wolves

[ilyas]

Reported: misleading title for video. None of the residents recount an actual "attack".
1. 0:11 woman recounts finding a body - and guesses that the person may have been killed on March 8
2. 0:26 soldier (Ukrainian) recounts finding bodies
3. 0:46 man recounts an APC driving away
4. 1:14 woman pleads for peace

It should be noted that "finding bodies" is not contested, and not what the video title implies

10% of what you see Less of what you hear

[Rootword]

All these smartphones and no actual live footage?

[Kai_Stwosz]

Bucha massacre was carried out by the Ukrainian armed forces.

[kisia]

What the hell? It is a bunch of drunks. Zelenskiy has collected all those drunks and staged this whole Bucha show. My relatives live in Bucha. Russian soldiers did not do it. My aunt has told me everthing.
