today we will hear from the mayor of bucha. russian forces began their assault in the town of bucha on february 27, 2022 as part of their campaign to encircle kyiv. on march 31, russians were in retreat from bucha. leaving behind mass graves and unimaginable devastation. during the russian occupation, the mayor went into hiding to coordinate assistance to those few thousand people who were remaining behind. his interviews with international media over the spring and summer of 2022 really helped awaken the world to russian war crimes and just what was happening. bucha represents the world's first definitive look at how the russian military employs atrocity in ukraine as a deliberate tactic. according to one official account, 458 bodies were recovered from the town's ruins. with 419 bearing signs of torture and other mass trauma. the crimes committed in bucha and subsequent reports and video from the other sites of russian atrocities helped galvanize international on passion -- opposition to russia's unprovoked war against ukrain

and we see in bucha another places like it because there were many other many bucha this and there have been, and it was a complete our annihilation of that principle. these are potentially probable war crimes because they are quite deliberate. the summary execution is deliberate. torture is deliberate. there's no question. it's not indiscriminate, which is also a violation of humanitarian law. it's quite deliberate. >> rachel denber thank you for joining. as i appreciate time in the work that human rights watch is done in ukraine. still ahead, nearly a year after russia's version of ukraine, i will look at the first harrowing moments. one brave reporter who was in the middle of it all, joins us next, here. were going house to house and just shot up the house, shot inside, not knowing who was insider what was happening. killing civilians in that way as well. >> it was a bit of a turning point, certainly in my coverage, but for a lot of people around the world, because awards feel like an extraction. it's something far away you think of soldiers fighting soldiers. you thought of you spok

while he was still in bucha.ter russians first occupied bucha, i met up with him in that town. we took a short walk. he told me about the horrific scenes he saw along just one block in bucha. and how the town still bears the scars of war, and surprising the recovery has taken place since it was liberated. >> do you see this is from solids. this is from ballots, and these trees were all wounded from ballots. they were just firing in a chaotic way. >> see all, these this is the violence. and all these benches were destroyed, and these are new ones. shooter

it's my opinion that bucha is not the face of ukraine, of the war. no, bucha is the face of russia.face, what they really think about us, their real attitude to our people. can you forgive them? no, never. never. you know... the russian people or putin? remember why we say "never again" after world war ii, after all those millions of deaths, millions of people who were in such, such bloody war. yes, never again. why do we say "never again"? because we can't... we don't want it. if there we have "never again", here we'll never forgive. that's true — we'll never forgive. that is, for today, that is their question, a russian society question — "what do we have to do to be forgiven by ukrainians?" that is their question. the strategically important city of mariupol has been one of the most heavily bombed areas of the war. russian forces finally captured mariupol in may after a brutal siege had reduced much of the city to rubble and killed thousands of civilians. what happened in mariupol was really one of the worst things of this entire year, wasn't it? tell me your feelings about it an

this time in person in bucha. as i walk with him through the stretch of this town that once saw so much carnage, i witnessed an incredible moment. -- he pointed out to a house where a woman once lived, he met her on the day bucha was liberated, the day he and i spoke april 2nd of last year. russian soldiers had taken over her home and her business and forced a family to live in the basement. here's what happened next. >> and arresting story about this building, i didn't know this family that they live here or not. i have a video, so i came and there was this house and then a lady came out and she was recognizing me as -- and she started to speak with me. by the, way they are opening maybe this family is still there so she said to me, i don't know. we can come maybe that -- because this is a house that they have on the ground floor, they have a beauty spa like a beauty salon but they live on the first floor of the building. they live there at that time and russian forces, they were deployed here just a live togethe

president putin: as for bucha, listen, i speak with my colleagues.ve relevant intercepts about the transport that was used to get to this town and create the conditions for the organization of this provocation, this fake. reporter: on the ground, evidce pointed to executions. many of the victims had their hands tied behind their backs, a good indication that a war crime had been perpetrated. the victims appeared to have been killed with gunshots to the head and chest. but who were the? and who killed them? we could only speculate that retreating russian forces were to blame because of the litter they left behind, clearly marked as being from russia. several subsequent investigations conducted by pbs frontline, the new york times and the bbc, piecing together cctv footage of the last moments of these men's lives have since established the facts and paint a grim picture of bucha under russian occupation. when russian forces first arrived in bucha in late february they did not expect to stay long. this was supposed to be just another town on the way to

while he was still in bucha. earlier this week, nearly a year after russians first occupied bucha, i met up with him in that town. we took a short walk. he told me about the horrific scenes he saw along just one block in bucha. and how the town still bears the scars of war, and surprising the recovery has taken place since it was liberated. >> do you see this is from solids. this is from ballots, and these trees were all wounded from ballots. they were just firing in a chaotic way. >> see all, these this is the violence. and all these benches were destroyed, and these are new ones. shooter -- they shot at everyone. >> you can see the trees -- >> yeah, in the trees, it's everywhere. on april, two, i came here as well, already in bucha self. and the first place, i was here on this square. and here i can show you photos, i have photos of my library. you was one car with a killed man inside. that was a man who worked in bucha for, like, park maintenance, and humor was trying to take wounded people to the hospital. an

faced the fact that among the people who died in the kyiv region, one in three died in bucha, fatheror of the church on the territory of which was the fratsky grave, since then a lot of time has passed, people were reburied, everything around was cleaned up , but now there is a memorial in that place inside the temple, photos taken by international photojournalists and which remind us of those terrible march days, unfortunately, such glory that we did not dream of, the railway station, the evacuation of civilians, a point-blank strike on jonathan bill the latest news from kramatorsk , we warn you, this material may shock you. mariupol is a city that has been bleeding since the first day . the world and on the world's largest platforms mariupol is our indomitable and unconquered and there will definitely be a free fraction june kremenchuk russia launched a brutal missile attack on a shopping center in central ukraine as a result of which at least dozens of people were killed and many more were injured the world was stunned there were about a thousand people inside the shopping center

anatoly, at the expense of the restoration of business activity in bucha now, well, a kind of city andhave become a certain brand with a very tragic history, but we understand how loud the very word bucha sounds a large number of objects were destroyed, which really brought the city certain dividends, and invested the actual local budget with the restoration of these objects, which is important next to the housing fund, social objects , the state program of the middle age, is really the enemy because it is directed not sports enterprises that were located in the buchansk community last year, which we killed was a huge, huge spas in terms of filling the budget, implementing the budget. today, we have a somewhat better positivity of the dynamics towards the implementation of the budget. and this is precisely the result the same had previous entrances and a number of powerful industrial enterprises of positive work . last week we received information that a large hypermarket center also plans to start construction from scratch this year. available jobs so that the photo corresponds to thi

we were in bucha last april shortly after the russian retreat.had marina's body exhumed from their backyard and laid to rest in a city cemetery. vlad told us he remembered what happened to her, and how ukrainian soldiers saved them from the russians. ukraine is strong, he says. >> you're very strong. ten months later we meet vlad on his walk home from school. how are you doing? how was school? with russian missiles still a persistent threat. vlad's dad tells us he's worried the war has his boys growing up too soon. they're doing their best to cope with the loss of marina. what was marina like? she was a very beloved person. it's difficult. i miss her, he says. vlad tells me he's a day away from his 7th birthday. they share a video created to mark last year's celebration. is that your mom? they had no way of knowing that birthday would be their last with marina, but vlad says he remembers. vlad's dad told me that he's still scared with all of these missile strikes, but the family can't leave ukraine because of ukraine's martial law currently in pl

if you drive through bucha, it's stunning to see the reconstruction.e're all those tanks had been completely taken out by the ukrainian forces. the russian tanks. we all sign ukrainian resistance. that is now a construction site. you see cranes all over heave. buildings have been hit by missiles, they've been completely redone. you see that resilience. at the same time, when you talk to ukrainians, when you scratch me at the surface, there is that really deep trauma there. >> our thank you as always. talking through the course of the next few days. erin maclachlan, my colleague with me here in ukraine. that does it for me. thank you for watching. casting back here next weekend as our velshi coverage from ukraine continues in our brand-new timeslot, and am to noon eastern. joining me this week through the week evening hours tomorrow 4 pm eastern. tomorrow at 8 pm eastern, i'll be sitting in for chris hayes and all this week. i'll also be in on tuesday at 4 pm eastern for my friend nicole wallace. stuart where you are. alex witt reports begins right now.

want , whose fame they did not seek, but now the whole world knows their names mariupol, kherson, bucha, bakhmut, this list is immeasurable throughout this year, ukrainian cities and villages were on the lips of the whole world, pictures on the covers of the most famous newspapers, magazines, reports on the world's largest tv channels about the cities of ukraine, which are now known on all six continents , see the material of tsn correspondent inna lebedenko. and they patch up the scars and win every meter out of 600 3000-700 km² they are heroic cities and villages of ukraine kharkiv kramatorsk mariupol odesa i should have talked about these cities already on february 24 the first missile strikes, the first explosions, the first casualties among civilians, this is the whole country, kharkiv, kramatorsk, kyiv, that is, which the russians managed to capture, they are doing the opposite woman, this summer , you will not be standing tomorrow and fighting for ukraine under blue and yellow flags, ukraine , the world is amazed by the courage and indomitability of ukrainians, melitopol berdyans

and on this day, all of bucha was occupied by the residents of many flats and they were lucky, or thes did not come to them, but the russians visited the neighboring houses and stole all the furniture and equipment, but the most terrible and worst human life, invaders, looters and thieves, bucha was under occupation for 33 days until april, then the rioters were forced to leave kyiv oblast under the pressure of the ukrainian defense forces, and then what made the blood of the entire civilized world run cold, russia's apparent crime against ukraine, was revealed once upon a time on this street in the cozy peaceful city, the bodies of ukrainian civilians lay in the open air next to bicycles , crushed cars , graves filled with enemy equipment, in parks between houses, in multi-story courtyards, they were driven and shot guys, there are three cars there, i think the python matchmaker came in the morning all beaten up because i ask where there is no matchmaker in ukraine , we came in three of them, i am naked and i am burying saturn with a shovel, here are the tortured, raped , shot, the d

especially what i saw near bucha on the outer road. number of cars shot down by russians and just, in one of the cars, there was a body of a boy. i don't know, probably six years old. my younger son is four years old. i just could not breathe for sometime. and i will never forget it. and it is awful atrocities. and those who are responsible for this should pay their price. >> and that discussion came up today. president zelenskyy was saying, it's one of the most frustrating discussions he has with world leaders. because everybody can see it. everybody saw the same evidence. we all saw photographs. but everybody says, we don't really have, a structure, a global infrastructure, that effectively deals with things as big as war crimes and crimes against humanity and the crime of aggression, which is the original sin. right? when you go into somebody else's country, all crimes then stem from that first action. we don't really have good systems for dealing with this. >> and crime of crime, genocide. because that is not a political expression

zone also advanced from chernigov to the left bank of the capital was occupied borodyanka gostomel buchaing to the city mayor, the russians captured partly 70% of the city was under the control of the armed forces of ukraine at the end of march, ukrainian soldiers began to push back the occupiers from the region, and on april 2, the head of the kyiv regional military administration, oleksiy kuleba, announced that the kyiv region had been completely liberated about the battle for the capital, so what would andriy stasyuk tell more about , their brid krieg was shot down, if he broke through to him what next so that he could go to vyshhorod well, kyiv is already one of the main forces for the occupiers on the first day of the war, the airport in gostomel was here, they sent their landing party here helicopters and also ruled to land planes with heavy equipment for the further assault on kyiv, but the full-fledged display of the russians was prevented by a part of the national guard unit that took up the fight here and somewhere on the 10th , the first helicopters began to come in, that is ,

on february 27, they enter bucha and approach irpen, there are heavy battles, our military is burningans and repulse the attacks, the ukrainian military destroys the huge columns of the invaders, but they do not allow them to advance further, heavy battles are fought in kharkiv oblast, kherson oblast, donetsk, luhansk, zaporizhzhya, sumy, and chernihiv oblasts, elite russian troops are being killed by airstrikes, and as they say, there is no analogues of such equipment in the world , our mountains are exploding the military is diligently turning tanks and armored vehicles into scrap metal, the account of the destroyed russian equipment in the first days of resistance is in the hundreds , our titans desperately want every scrap land and despite the obvious numerical superiority of the enemy, the ukrainian army stands in absolutely everything, the military forces at the beginning of the war are significantly different , at least statistically, the army of the russian federation is considered the second in the world, their active forces number about a million soldiers, which is almost fo

and i've been to bucha.e seen the location of these mass burials and where the executions took place, and you compiling the data bases of video evidence, cctv. it's a mammoth job, and we're helping the ukrainians with this extremely important endeavor. the ukrainians will constantly say, you'll hear the refrain that they want weapons, but they also want accountability. they always follow up any requests for weapons and the ability to win the war with accountability after the war is over. >> i know that the atrocities in bucha, turning point for how we understand the foundation of the russian military and vladimir putin's regime, but a turning point in terms of how the ukrainians see this ending. there's no negotiating with the leader carrying out war crimes, right? >> reporter: you're exactly right, and eugene, this is an interesting point i learned in a conversation i had with a number of army chaplains, as people of faith, can you forgive as you counsel these soldiers or not front lines and bury them, and

i was in bucha, i heard stories from people of torture. people were, obviously, killed there in cold blood. but the prosecution of war crimes tends to be a subject that goes on and on and on. and oftentimes we don't see the end result as getting justice. can you give us a sense if you ever think there will be justice if these crimes of humanity are proved in court at the hague? >> i am hopeful that justice can come to the victims and be served to the perpetrators. under the laws of international armed conflict, military commanders are responsible for the actions of their units and soldiers in their units. therefore russian commanders who controlled the territory are responsible parties and can be prosecuted. like you said, it's very difficult to actually enforce that. in principal, the international court of justice in the hague can help prosecute russian war criminals and tried in absentia, but it's difficult to implement that. it would be important to prosecute them so these russian commanders would not be able to set foot outside of the

last, year vlad survived the russian invasion and occupation of bucha.h his half brother and his dad. but, his 34 year old mom did not. they say marina noem as died of stress and starvation. hiding from the bombs in the families basement. they were forced to bury her in back of their apartment block. every day, if the bombings allowed, lad would visit his mom's makeshift grave. >> we were in bucha last april, shortly after the russian retreat. vlad's dad had marina's body exhumed from their backyard. then, laid to rest in the city's cemetery. vlad told us he remembered what happened to her and how ukrainian soldiers safe them from the russians. ukraine's strong, he says. >> you are very strong. >> ten months later, we need flat on his walk home from school. >> how are you doing? >> how a school? >> he recognizes. you >> with russian missile still a persistent threat, vlad's dad tells us he is worried the war has his boys growing up too soon. he's says, they are doing their best to cope with the loss of marina. >> what was marina like? >> she was a very b

but in bucha, a suburb of kyiv, where the russians left behind horror and destruction, construction is in earnest, and the town is laying a new foundation, to build a new future. ukrainian 61-year-old volodymyr perekhrestenko shows me the russian armored vehicle door, that flew into his house. they are upgrading the insulation, and fixing the walls, in a home that he's lived in all his life, and before him, his father, and grandfather. volodymyr: this is our nest. we grew up here. and we want to keep living here. nick: why have you chosen to rebuild even though the war continues? volodymyr: we are hopeful. we are confident that we will win this war. that our lives will be good. andrew: it's important to show people the hope. nick: andrew negrych is the director of operations for the global empowerment mission, ukraine. a year ago he was an entrepreneur about to open a new business in western europe. on the day of the invasion, he drove straight back home and joined an organization that delivers aid to people living near the frontlines, and is now rebuilding bucha. the government pays t

the american people are aware of the images of bucha. the american people take great pride in a fight for independence -- that being part of the foundation of our nation and in our principles and values. i think about where the united states is going on this issue based on the track record of where we've been. you only have to look at where we were a year ago and where we are today, in terms of the contributions and resources that america has put into everything from ammunition to artillery to air defense, from stingers to abram tanks, himars, javelins. i look at it in the context of the united states congress, which is here in force. i'm told it is the largest delegation, bipartisan and bicameral, of the united states congress to this meeting, to this munich security conference. [applause] and how forward the united states congress, in a bipartisan way, has been in terms of the track record of our support just over the last year, not to mention in a -- it's a technical term called an omnibus in our budgetary processes -- but at the end

what did the russian army do in bucha irpin?, well, i remember quite a photo, it became very personal for me , i don't know how to explain it to me, well, i already know it, it 's professionally called witness trauma, the first thought, how to live with it, how to live with it, for all of us, i thousands of terrible stories witnessed by children in ukraine, but it was extremely difficult to find at least a few families who would agree to send such a child to recovery . the very word therapy, guardians or grandmothers, sisters scared everyone . so these are already traumatized adults who received these children and not just don't want to let them go, they don't understand what psychotropy is. why is it needed at all now? what is psychological rehabilitation ? and psychological no, yes, well, i was scared, well, from the idea to the implementation of the free camp, almost six months passed, and then the project began to scale in front of his eyes , patrons and the office of the first lady elena zelenska joined him . uncle , they f

history of one captivity, yes, the person was not not in bucha, she was not not in captivity, and shehing he imagines it could just be, well, it could be to kill a person who experienced it, who will read it, yes, well, that's how i perceive it, eh, i am now , eh, well, for the whole war, i could not write, eh, texts for this book, by the way books and a lot of authors who wrote here wrote texts, they told me that it was such a therapeutic thing , after which they were able to write something. i have a world in which the ukrainians have won, even if it is bloody detective, but all the same, i will have a positive yes, so that the person who read this, well, she, uh, does not convert now and again, we are not ready for secondary reflections, which here we live here and now, and we are enough of what we feel, we ourselves are enough of these posts on facebook, we have enough photos, we have enough of our dead and wounded friends , we don't need strangers' invented reflexes, it's one thing if a book is published now, i know a friend of mine, a writer who works in intelligence , he writes

, and after bucha to kharkiv, i asked to go to kharkiv, because it is the city’s hometown, and i spentl months there until the moment when the russians were already pushed away from the city and they stopped flying, it is still flying, but a little less but the body then and at some point seemed like something from kharkiv would be the same as with mariupol. because every day, especially saltivka, but also the city center was a mess, every day there were dead people on the streets, medics, uh, saved lives, well , it’s just deja vu one on one, but sometimes you when you arrive, you understand what a house is. where did you live? 10 years and you left this entrance, took a coffee and went to the university , and now here your neighbors are killed by a russian projectile, they are just lying here in front of you, this is an onion . is it close? it causes so many emotions of anger and it takes time to do everything so that it does not affect to your work again because anyway you have to remain an international journalist uh with a neutral position how does this change your city what do you

i was in bucha and irpin very close to kyiv, and then i saw that bucha and irpin became a shield for kyiv, and i think that today the ukrainian front, which is much further from kyiv, this line of defense of the entire western civilization is the line of defense of the baltic states of my country and ukrainians are fighting for their own existence as people, for the existence of ukraine as a state and their nation, so it is our moral duty to help as the minister of defense, i had the honor to announce the latest package of military aid to ukraine , which included stingers, mi-17 helicopters , drones, dozens of machine guns with ammunition, and we undertook this year to conduct training for two thousands of ukrainian soldiers, this is twice as much as last year, this is quite a large number of soldiers, and we offer various training courses, starting with the basic training of infantry, demining , as well as medical courses, shooting training and i i can continue, we are also developing our military industry, we produce drones in latvia , two types, atlas and penguin, which we send to

he visited bucha and irpin and condemned the atrocities of the russian occupiers, he said, bucha and irpin show the wounds and scars of putin 's barbarism, russia will not win in this war, all of spain with ukraine, uh, mr. volodymyr, you said that at the un general assembly , it will obviously be clear how big the support of the russian federation was talking about the fact that 100, if i am not mistaken, 143 countries voted for the resolution condemning the aggressive war against ukraine, that is, there were only five countries against this resolution, and up to ten if i i'm not wrong, we stuck to yours. what else does the world need to see, what does the world need to learn in order to side with the ukrainian state and finally put an end to the fact that russia is a fascist state? well, just like it was after the second world war, when everyone was defeated by germany, when everyone reached a consensus that germany in the form it was in until 1945 was a fascist state, the victory is ours and that of our allies, because you know , well, we called the numbers, they already speak for
