War crimes investigators have uncovered compelling evidence Russian troops committed extrajudicial executions and torture of civilians as they failed to close in on Kyiv.
Amnesty International said innocent civilians also suffered from “reckless shootings and torture” from rampaging Russian troops during attacks throughout February and March.
Donatella Rovera, Amnesty’s senior crisis response officer, said: "These are not isolated incidents. These are very much part of a pattern wherever Russian forces were in control of a town or a village.”
