Ukrainian officials, soldiers, and residents gathered at a memorial site in Bucha to mark three years since the country's forces retook the town.
Russian troops occupied Bucha in the early days of the 2022 invasion, remaining for about a month. When Ukrainian forces regained control, they uncovered mass graves and documented thousands of atrocities against civilians.
This year’s commemoration comes amid tensions over ceasefire talks. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy accused Russia of stalling negotiations while preparing a new offensive.
