“In fact, it has been the seventh day since Bucha, Vorzel, and Hostomel were held hostage by Russian troops from the very beginning of the war. Our Armed Forces made some attempts and actually drove the Russian troops out, but a day later they recaptured the town and entrenched themselves. They have control over the main streets in our region and sweep them with fire. They do not allow residents to leave their homes for those short periods when guns are not fired and there is no shelling. They are shooting at streets," Fedoruk said.
According to the mayor, the Bucha residents cannot buy water, food, there is no power supply. People are hiding in basements, there is almost no connection with them.
Fedoruk said that the dogs were actually dragging out the bodies of the dead.
