The report says Russian troops committed a “host of apparent war crimes” in Bucha, including “numerous unlawful killings”.
The human rights organisation said Friday that it had documented extensive war crimes by Russian soldiers, including arbitrary killings and torture.
Amnesty International said on Friday there was compelling evidence that Russian troops had committed war crimes, including extrajudicial executions of civilians, when they occupied an area outside Ukraine's capital.
Reuters journalists spent three weeks in Bucha interviewing 90 residents, reviewing photographic and video evidence these locals shared and examining documents left behind by the Russians.
When Russian troops retreated from Bucha, a leafy suburb near Ukraine's capital, they left reminders of their deadly occupation for all the world to see. Now, as Ukrainian and international prosecutors begin the work of identifying those responsible for the alleged atrocities, Reuters has found vital clues to the identities of individual Russian soldiers and military units present during the bloody occupation.
