I spent the past few weeks investigating bombardments of residential buildings & extrajudicial executions by #Russia’s forces north of #Kyiv in #Ukraine. Prima facile evidence of #WarCrimes .
Explore inside and around the strike locations in #Borodyanka - filmed in 360 to capture as much details as possible of what #Russia’s bombardments have done to the homes of 100s of civilians, more than 40 of whom were killed in the strikes amnesty-borodyanka.holoscribe.site

Found on the ground in #Bucha : Bullet casings and spent bullets which can only be fired by certain specific rifles, which are issued to certain elite Russian forces. Little scraps of informations which could be useful in future #WarCrimes prosecutions. #Ukraine #Russia .
Also in #Bucha, military docs indicate presence in the town of Russian soldiers belonging to Units which use the rifles which fire the bullets mentioned in the previous tweet. I found the same bullet casings at/near the sites of other extrajudicial executions
A kitchen overlooking a playground across the road, in one of the buildings bombed by #Russia’s forces in #Borodyanka, #Ukraine. A pot remains on the stove, indicating that the family who lived here left in a hurry. Little else has survived. From amnesty.org/en/documents/e…
Iryna showed me the spot where her husband, Oleh, was shot dead by #Russia’s forces outside their home, which was burned down by the same soldiers. She has lost what was dearest to her - her beloved husband and her home. #Bucha #Ukraine #WarCrimes
