About 200 people considered missing in Borodianka

"According to Borodianka village head, about 200 local residents are considered missing. And we understand that many of them have gone missing forever. We will never forgive this crime. The Russian occupiers and their leaders will be held liable for the murders of Ukrainians," Anton Gerashchenko, adviser to the Minister of Internal Affairs of Ukraine, said at a briefing, an Ukrinform correspondent reports.

The rubble of apartment buildings, which were destroyed by Russian aircraft in early March, are being removed now in the village.

“To date, after the launch of works yesterday, the bodies of four Ukrainians, who died under the rubble of two houses at Soborna Street, have been found. And this is just the beginning because, as I was informed by the State Emergency Service representatives, the five-story buildings have been cleared away only up to the third floor,” Gerashchenko said.

The law enforcement officers do not know how many more Ukrainians remain under the rubble, he noted.

Gerashchenko added that the Ukrainian law enforcement officers already knew the names of the heads of military units of the Russian Federation at the level of battalions and companies which had been stationed in Bucha, Hostomel, Irpin.

"Our intelligence officers obtained these data, and they are already known to prosecutors who will investigate these cases and make sure that no aggressor escapes justice," Gerashchenko summed up.

Irpin, Bucha, Hostomel, and the entire Kyiv region were liberated from Russian invaders in early April. Mass killings of civilians by the occupiers were recorded in the liberated towns and villages.

The raped women, whose bodies the invaders tried to burn, killed local government officials, children, the elderly, and men were the victims of war crimes committed by the Russian troops. Many victims have their hands tied, their bodies have traces of torture. A lot of people were shot in the back of the head.
