NYT: Satellite images show bodies lay in Bucha for weeks, despite Russian claims.

An analysis of satellite images by The New York Times refutes claims by Russia that the killing of civilians in Bucha, a suburb of Kyiv, occurred after its soldiers had left the town.

When images emerged over the weekend of the dead civilians lying on the streets of Bucha — some with their hands bound, some with gunshot wounds to the head — Russia’s Ministry of Defense denied responsibility. In a Telegram post on Sunday, the ministry suggested that the bodies had been recently placed on the streets after “all Russian units withdrew completely from Bucha” around March 30.

Russia claimed that the images were “another hoax” and called for an emergency U.N. Security Council meeting on what it called “provocations of Ukrainian radicals” in Bucha.

But a review of videos and satellite imagery by The Times shows that many of the civilians were killed more than three weeks ago, when Russia’s military was in control of the town.

"I'm not going to reshare those photos.
They're horrific, and on par with some of the worst things I saw in Iraq and Afghanistan.

But I did look at them, and I want to point one thing out:
they weren't killed when the troops retreated.
The bloodstains show they died earlier

Enough people are showing them that I don't need to add to that mess.

But those people weren't killed because the Russians were retreating and couldn't take them with them, which is bad enough.
I'd guess by the dark and dry blood they were killed at least a week prior."
