🇺🇦 ‘Night is the worst time of day.’
Borodyanka is a quiet urban-type village in the Kyiv region, not far from Bucha. Russian troops occupied the village in the first days of the war, and stayed for more than a month. Now there are ruins instead of houses, and the number of civilians who died during the Russian invasion is already in the dozens. Holod journalist Taisia Bekbulatova visited the village and reported how mass graves are being dug up, people are looking for the missing, and are trying to rebuild their lives after the occupation. This article is republished here as part of Geneva Solutions collaboration with independent Russian publication Holod for our project, “Ukraine Stories”. The original version in Russian can be read here.
