Asharq Al-Awsat has toured the Ukrainian city of Bucha almost a year after Russian forces withdrew from the area.

Since the beginning of the war, the city has witnessed one of its most brutal chapters. As the conflict erupted, Russian forces advanced from the country’s northern border towards the small city located on the banks of a river bearing its name.
