Two years after the Bucha massacre in March 2022, where over 450 bodies were discovered following the withdrawal of Russian forces, Ukraine continues to grapple with the aftermath. The town of Bucha, once a site of horrific violence at the beginning of Russia's full-scale invasion, has seen life gradually return. However, for many families, moving on from the killings remains a challenge. Ukraine's Ministry of Defense marked the anniversary of the liberation of Kyiv Oblast, including Bucha, from Russian occupiers, recalling the shocking images of civilian casualties and mass graves that had horrified the world. Ukraine's top prosecutor has highlighted these crimes as indicative of a pattern of genocidal behavior by Russian forces, advocating for trials both domestically and by the International Criminal Court. Amidst efforts to rebuild and recover, the tragedy of Bucha has also been targeted by disinformation campaigns, with some attempts to distort the narrative of the events that took place.
