Opinion by Iuliia Mendel: Bucha fills Ukrainians with rage and fear for other unseen atrocities
It’s a level of cruelty Ukrainians are struggling to understand, even more than a month into this senseless invasion. It’s a level of hatred directed at people, at bodies, for daring to live under different political and cultural terms. I heard Russian troops were looking for pro-Ukrainian tattoos among residents in Bucha — would they take the skin from my back if I were captured?
Ukrainians have fought valiantly to push back Russian forces from the Kyiv region, but the result can hardly be called a “victory.” We are seeing the death and destruction in areas that were briefly under Russian control — and I refuse even to imagine what must be happening in cities such as Mariupol andRussians are still invading and occupying many areas and cities, including Donetsk, Chernihiv and Sumy.
