Civilians found dead with tied hands in Ukraine’s Bucha: Presidential adviser
ANKARA – Civilians in Ukraine’s Bucha province near the national capital of Kyiv, were found dead with their hands tied, Mikhail Podolyak, an adviser to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has claimed.
“Bucha, Kyiv region. The bodies of people with tied hands, who were shot dead by Russian soldiers lie in the streets,” Podolyak wrote on Twitter.
“These people were not in the military. They had no weapons. They posed no threat. How many more such cases are happening right now in the occupied territories?,” he said.
“We ask only one thing: give us weapons so that we can protect civilians. Everything else we will do ourselves,” he added.
Since the war started on February 24, at least 1,325 civilians have been killed in Ukraine and 2,017 injured, according to UN estimates, with the true figure feared to be far higher.
