Cruel Russian troops gunned down a teenager playing football and held hundreds of people - including babies - hostage underground in the brutal early days of the invasion, according to a shocking new report.
Human Rights Watch (HRW) accused the Kremlin’s troops of an “abhorrent and cruel” campaign against civilians in late February to early March.
Researchers from the humanitarian group visited 17 villages and small towns in Kyiv and Chernihiv regions and discovered 22 executions, six disappearances and seven cases of torture.
