Now the butchers of Bucha , at least some of them, have a name and a face. To reveal their identity, the attorney general of Kiev, Iryna Venediktova, who on Facebook posted personal details and photographs of ten officers and non-commissioned officers of the infamous 64th Russian motorized rifle brigade from Siberia. The list is opened by Sergeant Vyacheslav Lavrentyev, a little further down by Corporal Andriy Bizyaev, and in the group also a general, Albert Radnaev. Almost all of them, like their ferocious leader, Lieutenant Colonel Omurbekov Azatbek Asanbekovich, show the typical features of the Buryats, a population between Russia , Mongolia and China that represents the largest Siberian ethnic minority. The Ukrainian authorities have issued the first charges of war crimes against them, asking anyone who recognizes them to provide evidence of their involvement in the massacre of civilians in the Kiev region.

The tortures
Here is Bucha, where after the retreat of the troops from Moscow at least 400 bodies were found on the street, in houses, in mass graves. Some with their hands tied behind their backs and a blow to the back of the head, victims of real executions. Executing them were the same men to whom Vladimir Putin conferred one of the highest honors in Russia a few days ago, praising them for their heroism. "It is proof that it was the Kremlin who orchestrated the massacres," explains the Ukrainian prosecutor, who in the post describes the violence committed by the ten identified torturers. Some of them appear very young, some portrayed in camouflage and in combat gear, some in civilian clothes. According to what was established by the investigations, writes Venediktova, "during the occupation of Bucha they took unarmed civilians hostage, made them die of hunger and thirst, robbed them, kept them on their knees with their hands tied and blindfolded, mocked and beaten ».
“Fists and butts were used. The people - continues the prosecutor - were beaten up for information and some were tortured for no reason ». The Russian military also allegedly "threatened to kill the victims and even staged the execution of their prisoners." Moscow rejects all accusations and continues to talk about fake news. But the Kyiv prosecutor's office, in the hours when the UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres was visiting the places of the horror of the war in Ukraine, made it known that it had identified over 8,000 Russian war crimes since the beginning of the conflict . The civilian death toll, in the Kiev region alone, on the other hand, rises to over 1,150
