  • The Ukrainian authorities are investigating war crimes in a suburb that was occupied by Russia.

  • More than 300 people were buried in a mass grave.

  • The prosecutor said that Russia left a server with information about the killings.

According to the New York Times, the chief regional prosecutor in Bucha, Ukraine, said that Russian soldiers left behind a computer server with potentially damning information, as investigators were zeroing in on killings and mass graves in the city.

Ukrainian authorities claim that Russian soldiers killed and buried hundreds of Ukrainians in a mass grave in the suburb. Journalists who visited the suburb after Russian troops left also reported bodies of civilians in their homes, on the street, and in the glass factory.

There are around 35,000 people in the suburb.

The data of servicemen runs to more than a hundred pages, according to the prosecutor.

The killings are being investigated as war crimes and most of the people killed were hit by bullets.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov claimed that the bodies found in Bucha were staged, like those pushed by Russian propagandists.

According to Serhiy Kaplychny, only two members of the Ukrainian military were killed and buried in the mass grave. A mass grave was created before Russia left the suburb, according to a visual investigation by The New York Times.

Videos and photos of atrocities from Bucha flooded the internet as troops were driven out by Ukrainian forces.

According to The Times, authorities are investigating reports of rape, torture, and executions that took place in the city during the month that Russia occupied it.

Over 7,000 photos and videos have been posted on the warcrimes.gov.ua website, which was set up by the Ukrainian government.
