Russian forces began leaving Bucha Irpin, and Hostomel during the afternoon of Wednesday 30 March — a whole three days before these awful videos and images began ‘flowing in’ to the Ukrainian media. The Russian military had entirely vacated the town of Bucha by 16:31 on 1 April, because this is when Anatoliy Fedoruk, the mayor of Bucha, stood in front of the town hall and declared the ‘liberation’ of the town and posted it to the official Facebook page of the Bucha City Council. It stands to reason, then, that survivors of the massacre and arriving Ukrainian soldiers would have seen the horrific scenes around the streets and reported them — but no. In fact, Mr Fedoruk says nothing about bodies littering the streets in his online liberation address. It is not for another twenty-four hours that a massacre is brought to the attention of the press.
According to The New York Times, which had the photojournalist Daniel Berehulak on the ground, one of the first Ukrainian units to enter Bucha was the ultra-nationalist Azov battalion. On a walkabout with the Azov battalion, the comment accompanying the photo spread reads:
Ukrainian soldiers from the Azov battalion walked through the remnants of a Russian military convoy in the recently liberated town of Bucha on Saturday, just outside the capital after the Russians withdrew. Nearby residents reached for food being distributed by Ukrainian soldiers. Many had not received food, or had electricity or gas to cook with — for more than a month. Older residents stood near a body left on the sidewalk.
Through the morning of 2 April there were dead bodies, but not enough to suggest a massacre had taken place. The New York Times makes no mention of a massacre of civilians — and it has access to the city and the residents. There is obvious hardship and people, especially the elderly and infirm, are suffering a great deal. But there is no indication here whatsoever of a massacre; complete with mass graves, execution sites, rape victims et cetera. No, all of this is absent. Nowhere in the town does Berehulak get any hint of a massacre of the civilian population, and, given its ideological hatred of Russians, one would think that if such a thing were known or even rumoured, the soldiers of the Azov battalion would only have been too happy to share.
