Number of people killed and tortured in Bucha is not final, there are still missing persons - National Police
The investigation into the war crimes committed by the Russian military in Bucha is ongoing, and the number of victims is still inconclusive.
According to Censor.NET, this was announced on the second anniversary of the liberation of Bucha by Andrii Nebytov, Deputy Head of the National Police, Chief of the Criminal Police in Kyiv region.
As noted, after the de-occupation, 422 murdered civilians were found in Bucha, and a total of 1190 bodies were found in the Bucha district. The National Police continues to investigate Russia's war crimes.
"In Ukraine, it is the police who have initiated more than 116,000 criminal proceedings on the facts of Russian war crimes in Ukraine, 23,000 of which were committed in the Kyiv region," Nebytov said.
As a reminder, on 31 March 2022, police officers were among the first to enter the de-occupied Bucha and witness its tragedy. Law enforcement officers documented the horrific consequences of the Russian invasion - torture chambers, mass killings of civilians, and destruction. The number of people killed and tortured is not final, as many residents have gone missing and are still being searched for.
"As of today, 514 residents of the Kyiv region are still missing. 180 bodies of our citizens remain unidentified," the National Police added.
