Grim Scenes Outside Kyiv Suggest Russian Troops Massacred Civilians

Horrible scenes from areas outside the Ukrainian capital suggest that Russian troops committed massacres as they retreated.
Near Kyiv in Motyzhyn, the bodies of the village mayor and her family lay in a shallow grave on Monday, untouched by fear of traps.
“My family is in the hole,” a man told Reuters at the scene.  “I do not know why they were killed.  “They were peaceful, kind people.”
Even closer to Kyiv, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy toured the massacre he left behind in Bucha, where the streets were littered with corpses, some tied up and apparently executed at close range.
“We know thousands of people who were killed and tortured, with amputated limbs, women were raped, children were killed,” Zelensky told reporters on Monday.  “This is genocide.”
The gruesome images have sparked international outrage and called on Russian President Vladimir Putin to face war crimes charges.
At Antonov Airport in Hostomel, the world’s largest plane landed damaged and surrounded by wreckage.  Russia had sent paratroopers to the airport in the early morning hours of the invasion in an apparent attempt to secure it as a launch pad to attack Kyiv, but was never able to use its runway.
“With release comes misery of old age,” said Paul Workman, a man close to the CTV National News correspondent.  “All I have left is what I wear and my bike.”
