What's the situation of the retreat from Kiev? Because it seems that Russians have taken quite a lot of casualties in the withdrawal. There are comments saying that 4th guards tank division and 1st guards tank army has taken serious losses, and that some Russian forces are surrounded in Northern Ukraine. But then again they could just be from Taiwan 1450 bots. It's biazzre that LPR and DPR militias are performing better than Russian guards units.

Kiev’s metro system has since expanded from its role as a bomb and nuclear fallout shelter; a legacy from the Soviet Era; into a full fledged community.
Many people have permanently moved underground for the foreseeable future as a result of air-raids and artillery bombardment in the surrounding area; a stark contrast from the images of an over crowded shelter seen at the beginning of the invasion.
1. Locals enjoy a meal provided for by a local food bank.
2. Orthodox Church services from last weekend.
3. Makeshift community near the entrance of one of the many metro stations in Kiev.
4. Ukrainian police patrol one of the many refugee laden areas in the metro system; numerous arrests have been made on accounts of suspects who have brought ammunition and explosives into the metro system.
5. Local woman hands her baby to her husband as she heads off for work.
6. An elderly woman sits in silence as she attempts to contact someone, perhaps missing family; despite the influx of persons in the metro system regularly scheduled train services continue in the background.
There is a plethora of images out there of life in the metro system; these however stood out as snap-shots of now what has become everyday life for some of Kiev’s residents.
It can be said that Russian author Dimitri Glukhovsky hit the nail on the head with his depictions of what life would be like in a metro system in his cult classic “Metro” book series.

Maybe someone can produce close up photos consistent with earlier overall photos that show a degree of decay and damage consistent with bodies having been left in the open for 3 weeks, even in this temperature? One might expect evidence of animal scavenging? Crows maybe?
Putin mis-spoke. What he actually wants is the re-nazification of Ukraine:
What are you some kind of ghoul?! Who would be able and willing to take such photos in an area occupied by the perpetrators?
Did you just imply that the perpetrators are Ukrainians ? Because they currently occupy the area.......

In terms of war crimes and hypocrisy, the U.S. is really in their own league. For example, they claims that they have never engaged in chemical warfare, while in fact, the harms of their chemical warfare in Vietnam last to this day:
BTW, the current president of the UN Security Council, the UK, refused Russia's request to hold a UNSC meeting to deal with the events in Bucha. Instead, they will invite Zelensky to speak.
Interesting thread about the claims about Bucha. Pieces together a timeline based on available information and videos before the massacre narrative surfaced.
Basically, Russian troop agree to leave by March 30th; on March 31st, a rather happy mayor of Bucha is recorded making no mentions of massacres or dead bodies.
On April 2nd, several videos of locals driving around Bucha are posted and no bodies are visible; OP points out one of the first Ukrainian units to enter the town that day belonged to what's left of Azov outside of Mariupol
On another video posted on April 3rd, ukranian soldiers are heard discussing about shooting people without blue armbands
Following images(which I will not be posting for obvious reasons) show that a lot of the bodies have white armbands. It seems to suggest that maybe there was a massacre in Bucha, but against the pro-russia population done by Ukrainian forces.
