The occupation lasted 33 days—Feb 27 to Mar 31, 2022. In that time, 561 civilians were killed, including 12 children.

These photos capture the first moments of a freed Bucha.

  1. I remember when the first pictures of bucha released. Me and my family were horrified

  2. Absolutely heartbreaking and gut wrenching. Putin must be punished for his crimes.

  3. I remember before this my local discussion group (myself included) felt sorry for some of the Russian infantry. Sent in to die, seemingly not knowing why or for what, unprepared, getting slaughtered on a goal they clearly weren’t on board with, even if we hated their actually doing it.

    Then Bucha.

    And we learned very quickly our ‘assumptions’ and our sympathy were totally gone. It became clear they weren’t hapless young boys who had no idea what they were up to. They knew EXACTLY what they were doing and were doing it openly.

    That was an emotional step change of this war.

  4. And still we have people in the US who love, worship and adore Putin…WTF?

  5. That’s why I think in my country access to weapons should be easier, not harder. Not as easy as in the US, mind you, but more reasonable. Because what happens if my city is occupied for 33 days and then liberated, what happens in the meantime? You have to count on yourself and Russians being civilized enough not to murder/rape you (which I’m not gonna bet on).

  6. Three years ago, I officially joined the world part that wants putin Dead of the most painful way and slowly.

    NEVER forget #Bucha 💔

  7. Imagine what has been happening on the occupied territories all this time…
