building and this is the bucha district
government Administration and we're
going to go inside and meet with some
important officials and talk about what
went on here in the butcher District
so I'm Cedar here with Mr mikola
lashenko he is the head of the butcher
District military Administration and
we're in his office right now which was
actually once upon a time not so long
ago this room and the entire building
was occupied by the Russians as you can
see the windows over here this large
window that's been covered with uh looks
like black garbage bags to keep the
light from going out so at night no one
knows that anyone's inside obviously
there are sandbags right here so that
God forbid there was an explosion no
shrapnel would fly and it could
hopefully protect the people in the room
he just explained to us a lot about what
happened here in the butcher District
throughout the war and uh now we're
gonna head into another place in the
building where they're going to show us
a little Museum that they started which
showed the atrocities that went on here
in bucha
foreign
weapons that were used against
the Ukrainian people over here this is
part of a ground missile and this has
all been collected and it's going to be
put into a museum
where they're going to showcase the
atrocities that went on here
thank you
yes
okay so this is uh Mr Dennis he is
Deputy head of the administration over
here in bucha District he actually is
Jewish and a proud Jew and he is going
to be giving us a tour of bucha
[Music]

[Music]
foreign
[Music]
we're just looking around at all the
destruction
Wild
that was once a car
and this too
people lived here
wow
this is the metal from the wheels
literally melted
this is straight into the sewer system
look at this car unbelievable
broken glass everywhere I'm not really
supposed to be hanging out in this area
because there could be unexploded mines
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
please don't go in because
it's danger because it means here yeah
the water it was inside in in every
every meeting and please don't worry
okay
foreign
[Music]
as you can see
there are bullet holes
pock marks all over from all the
fighting that went on here
so many people have been displaced
from where they lived
makes you think why is all this
necessary
why can't people just live in peace
[Music]
this is a shopping center that's been
completely wrecked take a look
okay okay okay
[Music]
foreign
[Music]
so I want to go inside
take a look at what's happening inside
the building
but the security forces won't let me in
so I don't think that's gonna work
right now foreign
you can see that something fell right
here
so this is
which also saw a lot of intense fighting
during the conflict
and everywhere on this whole street
entire apartment buildings have been
destroyed
you can see
items that were owned by families who
lived here hanging out of the debris
look at this
so if you look at this building
right there
is a washing machine
and a chest of plastic drawers
hanging out
it's about to fall
there is so much
so much ruin
[Music]
Ed
so this is the entrance to a building
that was completely destroyed there are
so many more like it
thank you
foreign
debris anywhere
see there are many pieces hanging right
off the building and
I wouldn't want to get hurt
so this clearly was the dentist's office
no more
okay again I don't want to go too deep
in because there could be unexploded
bombs there could be falling debris
but you get the picture
terrible situation
we are now driving across a bridge that
was blown up
during the conflict so I guess they
repaired it but not all the way
which is why it has this big dip in the
middle
and we are now in a place called
dimitrovka where there are many many
destroyed Russian tanks
take a look
[Music]
so I am standing on top of a destroyed
Russian tank
[Music]
things are monstrous okay
[Music]
we're going
[Music]
okay thank you very much thank you nice
to meet you nice to meet you stay safe
