Occupation, liberation & survival: the story of Bucha

Day 407.

Today, in a special edition of Ukraine: The Latest, we take you to the town Bucha, a year after its liberation and the discovery of massacres and rapes committed by Russian troops. Reporter and host David Knowles visited last summer, a few months after the retreat of the Russian army. David speaks with locals about their lives during the occupation, visits a basement where people sheltered, and speaks once again to Katya Savchenko who first shared her story of being a Bucha resident this time last year.

Please note that there will be no episode of the podcast on Monday 10th April due it it being a Bank Holiday in the UK.
