In the brutal landscape of what were once placid and prosperous suburbs and satellite towns near the Ukrainian capital, Kyiv, investigators struggle daily to document evidence of mass atrocities against the people who once lived here
Nadya Boyko waits as investigators inspect bodies found in a mass grave in Borodyanka, Ukraine, on Wednesday. Among the dead was her son Constantine, who was shot by Russians.
For that ignominious failure, and the backlash it ignited, civilians paid the price. Hundreds died here, Ukrainian officials say, andThat’s for later. For now, a sorrowful procession arrives daily at the morgue in Bucha, a town whose name has become a byword for hideous suffering coming to light weeks after the fact. The crowd is small and desolate, waiting for the bodies of loved ones to be formally identified and released as the exactitude of forensic science folds into simple grief.
Zena Laboonska cries as she touches a body bag containing her son Sergey Sydorchuk outside the morgue in Bucha, Ukraine. A few yards away, police tape marked off an area where three other bodies, two male and one female, were uncovered by police investigators. Nadya Boyko had buried her son there after he was shot and killed by Russian troops on Feb. 28.Now, after the investigators finished their work, she would return him to the earth a second time.
Near the town of Andriivka, about 50 miles north of Kyiv, Nadya Savran knew something was wrong when her son Igor, a car mechanic, didn’t come home on March 19. The Russians had occupied their village since Feb. 26, two days after the invasion began.on March 30, the 66-year-old mother was told it was too dangerous to look for him. The area was laced with mines.
