ERBIL (Kurdistan 24) – Azad Alton, Kurdistan 24’s correspondent in Ukraine’s Kyiv, reported mass destruction and bodies on the streets of Kyiv’s Bucha and Irpin on Sunday following the fierce battle between the Russian and Ukrainian armies there.

“On Mar. 31, which marks the 35th day of the war on Ukraine, the Ukrainian Army successfully recaptured the two cities of Bucha and Irpin,” Alton said. “The war has caused extensive destruction in these two cities, and most of the buildings are entirely damaged.”

“The bodies belong to Russian soldiers and civilians,” said Alton. “It is difficult to distinguish the bodies of civilians from the military because many body parts are scattered, and some corpses are badly deformed from burns.”
