OZERA, Ukraine (AP) — Tetiana Boikiv peered from the doorway of the cellar at the Russian soldiers questioning her husband about his phone. “Come up,” her husband, Mykola Moroz, called to her.

As Russian soldiers fought to suppress what has effectively become a crowdsourced resistance in Ukraine, an Associated Press and FRONTLINE investigation found they’ve swept up many civilians who have done nothing at all.

In communities outside Kyiv, during Russias failed bid to take the capital, soldiers slaughtered civilians in their cars, executed them in their kitchens and suffocated them in their basements. The dead were often buried in hastily dug graves by people who were complete strangers.
