In early April, the world saw horrific footage from Bucha, which was terrorized by the occupiers for a month. Corpses of civilians with their hands tied and their heads shot were lying on the roads. Russia said it was “Ukraine throwing corpses” after the Russian military left. But the satellite images of the American company Maxar and the story of the Bucha resident, which she told the “Mirror of the Week”, say something else.
The first “green corridor” from Bucha on March 8 practically failed: the occupiers did not let buses out of the city. The next day, some residents still managed to leave, among them a doctor-therapist Irina, who was rescuing her children. Her and other dramatic stories of Bucha civilians who survived the occupation, tells Elena Zhezhera in the article “How Bucha fought for her life: the birth of Alice and the history of the field hospital at home” .
“We left on March 9 at about 11 o'clock. In the car, besides me and my husband, there were four children, two dogs and two cats. We took out another girl next door. We were told to put on white armbands, write “Children” on the car and drive at a speed of 5 kilometers per hour. We saw this horror on Yablunska Street, which the whole world has seen now, back then, ”Iryna recalls.
There were shot cars in the street, killed people were lying on the sidewalks. Later, Russian propaganda will accuse Ukrainians of these horrific war crimes and say that it all happened after the racist troops left the city.

< p> “I closed the children's eyes, no one took pictures. We drove through several enemy checkpoints. If they found any photos of us, they would shoot us on the spot. We removed everything from the phones. This path has been an eternity for us. We drove 40 kilometers for more than eight hours. And they prayed all the time. I think that from my prayers an invisible dome grew over our car, which protected us, ”the doctor is convinced.
