Summary:

Previously unseen surveillance footage from the Bucha massacre shows how Russian soldiers targeted civilians on Yablunska Street during Russia’s occupation of Bucha, Ukraine. On March 4, 2022, cameras captured 70-year-old resident Volodymyr Rubailo walking calmly down the street. Moments later, he was shot, left bleeding, and then executed with a gunshot to the head. Shortly after the killing, the footage shows Russian troops looting a supermarket just meters from the body. The video provides additional visual evidence of how Russian forces in Bucha not only carried out executions of civilians, but also engaged in organized looting during the occupation. This new investigation sheds light on what happened in Bucha and identifies the Russian commander who was present on site, offering clear proof of Bucha civilians killed deliberately rather than caught in crossfire. The massacre in Bucha has become emblematic of the brutality of the Ukraine war, raising urgent questions about accountability for war crimes and the actions of Russian troops in Ukraine.
