On the second anniversary of the start of the Russian invasion, commemorations were held across Ukraine. This is the case in the small town of Boutcha, near kyiv, where Russian forces are accused of having committed war crimes against civilians.

The city is gradually being rebuilt, life is returning, but the population remains deeply damaged. Olena, 65, came with red carnations in memory of her husband, who was executed at point blank range by Russian soldiers while he went to get cigarettes.
