During the occupation of Bucha, Russian forces executed almost all men between the ages of 18 and 60 who were unable to evacuate.
In total, more than 600 people were killed and tortured in the city, with Russians shooting entire families from the Bucha community. After the liberation of Bucha, many men from the city went to the front, which led to the need to form a female unit of the volunteer territorial defense force.
The Bucha community has created Ukraine’s first all-female mobile anti-aircraft fire groups due to the demographic situation in the city.
Currently, the «Witches of Bucha» are made up of women of different ages, education, professions, and life experiences. However, in the service, each of them is a fighter, emphasizes «Veles», the chief of staff of the Bucha Volunteer Territorial Defense Force.
The women take turns on combat duty every three days, which allows them to combine their service with civilian life.
Among the «Witches» there are women who, in addition to patrolling the airspace, manage to raise two or three children and work at their main job.
The Bucha community fully provides with ammunition and weapons, but the fighters do not receive a salary for their shifts and carry out their duties to protect the sky on a voluntary basis.
These brave women are defending their homes from Russian aggression, proving that courage and determination have no gender.
Conscription should still be made officially equal between genders, it is an injustice that only one gender has a duty to give their time and possibly their life or health to fight.
Good for them. How old are those truck mounted guns?
Covering with a maxim is so much hotter than being on the cover of one.
SLAVA… um…WITCHES! 🧙🇺🇦
Speaking of witches I wonder where call sign “witch” is these days.

I can’t wait to see them shoot those orks out of the sky
I am also waiting for a pink lgbt rocket squad to shoot those depraved macho orks out of the sky just for russian television

Excellent of them to voluntarily step up.
