Russia has said that all photographs and videos published by the Ukrainian authorities alleging 'crimes' by Russian troops in Bucha were a "provocation," and no resident of Bucha suffered violence at the hands of Russian troops.
Ukrainian investigators began to exhume a mass grave in Bucha, opening the early stages of what many have alleged will be a war crimes case targeting Russian troops who occupied the Kyiv commuter town.
The grave -- a long deep trench in the mud behind a gold-domed church -- was used by Ukrainians to bury neighbours they claim were killed at the hands of Russian armed forces over a week ago.
Crews wearing white forensic overalls were using a flatbed lorry fixed with a mechanical crane to remove corpses from the ditch. At least dozens of bodies are believed to be at the mass grave said to be 40-feet long.
Most of the remains outside the grave, cordoned off by tape, were zipped inside black plastic body bags.
