HARROWING film shows a distressed Ukrainian mother unearthing her daughter’s shallow grave, while disturbing aerial images show a mass burial site allegedly excavated by Russians.

Vladimir Putin’s army have been accused of genocide, following claims that hundreds of people were slaughtered in the town of Bucha, near Kyiv, while startling photography reveals the horrible depth of the destruction.

According to sources, Bucha homeowner Antonina Pomazanko’s daughter was shot dead by Russian forces on the first day of their possession of the region as she stepped outside to gaze at a column of tanks.

In desperation, the bereaved mother was compelled to bury her dead in a small cemetery outside their home.

In heartbreaking video, Antonina is seen showing Ukrainian forces her daughter’s grave while assisting them in removing wooden planks stacked over the body.

Meanwhile, disturbing satellite images appear to reveal a 45-foot-long ditch in the grounds of a Bucha church.

“More recent imagery on March 31st reveals the grave site with an approximately 45-foot-long trench in the southwestern portion of the region near the church,” stated Maxar, a private US space technology company.

It happened when stories surfaced of Putin’s butchers killing bound individuals and left them scattered across Bucharest streets.

The withdrawing soldiers are also claimed to have mined homes and booby-trapped bodies.

On Sunday, at least 20 victims were discovered sprawled over a single roadway, some with their wrists bound.

According to Ukrainian officials, 410 individuals have been discovered dead in towns around Kyiv so far, with at least 300 slain in Bucha alone, and 57 buried in one mass grave.

A 14-year-old child is alleged to have been among those slain.

There have also been allegations of rapes and Kremlin troops “mutilating minors.”

Anatoly Fedoruk, the mayor of Bucha, stated that “all of these people were shot,” adding that 280 more remains had been buried in mass graves across the city.

Wladimir Klitschko, the boxing star, tweeted a video from Bucha showing citizens “shot in the head with their wrists tied behind their back.”

He stated: “This is not a high-level military operation. This is genocide in action.”

According to one allegation from neighbouring Irpin, Russian death squads shot women and girls before driving tanks over them.

According to accounts, Moscow’s fighters also booby-trapped bodies.

According to reports, Chechen soldiers were in charge of the region at the time.
