Ukrainian Civilian Evacuation Canceled as Russian Military Blocks Buses

A planned evacuation of civilians from the city of Bucha in Kyiv Oblast on March 9 was canceled after Russian military blocked dozens of buses, officials said on Facebook.

According to reports from the Bucha City Council, Russian forces attempted to disrupt the evacuation in Bucha on Wednesday morning, blocking about 50 buses, the council said. In an update, officials canceled the planned evacuation, saying it had “failed to negotiate” with the “occupants” and that evacuation was “impossible.”

The council said evacuations were still ongoing from Worzel.

Video posted by the State Emergency Service (SES) of Ukraine shows officials helping residents onto buses in Bucha, a city in Kyiv Oblast, amid the establishment of a “green corridor” for safe humanitarian passage. The video was posted to Twitter before the cancellation of the evacuation was announced.

It's a little misleading, what they didn't tell you was that the blockage was destroyed Russian vehicles.

So much fake news 🤷🏽‍♂️ where’s the blockage 👀

im just curious how Russia has the balls to defend moves like these. i cant say i understand their reason for invading in the first place...but specifically targeting civilians is a pretty cut and dry scenario. doesnt really matter what your reasons are, that shit shouldnt happen

[masonosipov]

I would love to see the video showing that!

Imagine, our side of the population can only know one side of the story, the other side has a different version. At this point it may well be believable that there are no civilians.

Doesn't surprise me. Pray for the Ukrainian people and democracy in their country, also for those in Russia who are against what their President
Is doing to those who are protesting against the war in Ukraine. May they be strong.

For anybody wanting a primary source as far as I can tell the report is from the Bucha city council's facebook, Бучанська міська рада. Офіційна сторінка, you can check it for yourself, they didn't include any video but other people in the area are supporting the claim. Just because there isn't video doesn't make something fake, this took like 2min to look up.
