Drone attacks continue to haunt communities around Kyiv. Overnight, Russian forces launched another wave of drones at the Kyiv region, hitting the Bucha district. Fires broke out and several homes were damaged. Local authorities say three women, aged 16, 56, and 80, were injured.
Bucha’s mayor, Anatoliy Fedoruk, has shown the aftermath of the attack. In the town, seven private houses and a kindergarten were left with varying degrees of damage. Thankfully, there were no fatalities, but emergency services, police, and utility workers remain on the scene, clearing debris and assisting residents.
Meanwhile, disturbing new evidence has emerged from the early days of Russia’s occupation of Bucha. Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty has released previously unseen security camera footage from March 2022, showing Russian soldiers killing a civilian, 70-year-old Volodymyr Rubailo, and looting a local shop. The video captures the moment the man is first wounded, then killed at close range, before the soldiers search his body and ransack the store. The outlet has named the alleged perpetrator as Sergeant Vladimir Borzunov of Russia’s 234th Air Assault Regiment. While Borzunov denies his involvement, he does admit that Russian soldiers were responsible for the killings in Bucha.
On the diplomatic front, the United States has again called on both Ukraine and Russia to step up efforts to end the war. State Department spokesperson Tammy Bruce says President Trump remains focused on bringing the conflict to an end, and is prepared to use America’s economic leverage to push forward negotiations. However, Ukrainian officials remain sceptical about any potential Trump-Putin talks, concerned that Kyiv’s interests may be sidelined.
Finally, President Zelenskyy has admitted, in comments to The Telegraph, that liberating all occupied territories by military means may not be realistic. He says Ukraine is prepared to consider a ceasefire along the current front line—though he insists there can be no international recognition of Russia’s claims to seized land, as Ukraine’s constitution forbids any change to the country’s territorial integrity.
The situation remains tense, with the human cost of this conflict ever present, for both the people living near the front and those still seeking justice for the crimes committed in the early days of the invasion.
