300 of these were in Bucha alone.The latest grave was found behind the church in the centre of Bucha, with several corpses only partially buried or not buried at all.The bodies of men, women and children were also seen strewn across roads in Bucha over the weekend.Russia has denied attacking innocent civilians, with Moscow accusing Kyiv of orchestrating the horrible scenes for the Western media.

Ukraine’s foreign minister Dmytro Kuleba has said: "Russia is worse than ISIS. They were killing civilians while leaving - out of anger and just because they wanted to kill."We are still gathering bodies but the number has already gone into hundreds."Both Vitali Klitschko, mayor of Kyiv, and his brother Wladimir Klitschko have accused Russia of genocide.

Speaking in a graphic video documenting the dead bodies in Bucha, Wladimir said: "What happened here, and everywhere in the Ukraine, what is happening is not a special operation, this is not military this is civilians."They've been shot in the head, with their hands tight behind their back, this is genocide on the Ukrainian population, and that is exactly what Russia's regime and Putin's regime and the Russian army is doing, killing civilians, with their tied hands behind their back and with a shot in their heads."Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy echoed similar sentiments when speaking on US TV yesterday.
