Bucha massacre: The evidence Russian soldiers killed civilians and left bodies in the street in Ukranian city

Pictures of horror, destruction and mass graves in the Ukrainian city of Bucha have sent shockwaves around the world. Russia has been accused of committing a "deliberate massacre" after the devastating images emerged when Russian troops withdrew from the town on the outskirts of the capital Kyiv.

The latest satellite imagery has shown bodies have been lying in the open for weeks, but Russia continues to deny it has committed war crimes saying it was "staged" after its forces withdrew from the area.

The footage and pictures have been fact checked by several organisations, including the BBC and the New York Times.
