Part 5/11:
Volunteers traversing once-vibrant towns like Bucha and Kharkiv witness the horrors wrought by Russian forces. Buche, a place once full of life and family memories, now looks like a scene from a horror film—streets deserted, military vehicles patrolling, bodies left in basements. The destruction of key buildings, including city halls and university structures, signals a calculated war of annihilation rather than a mere territorial dispute.
A volunteer recalls visiting Bucha a month prior, filled with hopeful energy, then returning to find it devastated, with a haunting sense of loss and helplessness gripping their soul. The violence is intended not just for strategic gain but as a declaration of war—an attack on Ukraine’s sovereignty, its identity, and its people.
