Quote: "Over 1,000 civilians have already died in the Kyiv region as a result of Russian aggression."

Details: According to Niebytov, more than 420 bodies have already been found in Bucha alone.

Bodies continue to be found as people return home and find the dead in their homes, in basements or in wells.

In just one day, law enforcement officers examined the bodies of 48 people and took them to morgues in the Kyiv region.

In addition, according to Niebytov, in April alone the police recorded 12 cases of people being injured or killed when explosive devices left by the Russian occupiers blew up.

The Russians have left explosives everywhere - on the doors of homes, and inside washing machines, refrigerators and microwaves.

Even cemeteries have been rigged with explosives - explosive experts found 13 booby traps in just one cemetery in the Kyiv region.

Over 400 law enforcement officers are currently working in the region. They have already interviewed more than 27,000 people about the crimes committed by the Russians.
