AFP presents a selection of 100 pictures to mark 100 days of Russia's war in Ukraine
In this photo taken on April 02, 2022 bodies of civilian lie on Yablunska street in Bucha, northwest of Kyiv, after Russian army pull back from the city. The first body on the picture has been identified as Mykhailo Kovalenko and was shot dead by Russian soldiers according to relatives interviewed by AFP. When the 62-year-old arrived on Yablunska, he "got out of the vehicle with his hands up" to present himself to a checkpoint manned by Russian soldiers, said Artem, the boyfriend of Kovalenko’s daughter. Still, the troops opened fire, said his daughter and his wife, who survived the attack by running away. - The bodies of at least 20 men in civilian clothes were found lying in a single street Saturday after Ukrainian forces retook the town of Bucha near Kyiv from Russian troops, AFP journalists said. Russian forces withdrew from several towns near Kyiv in recent days after Moscow's bid to encircle the capital failed, with Ukraine declaring that Bucha had been "liberated".
