Ukraine's fight for justice in Bucha

Remembering the atrocities of Russian occupation two years later.

It鈥檚 two years since occupying Russian troops departed the Ukrainian town of Bucha. The trail of death and destruction they left behind has been widely condemned, with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky among those who have alleged Russia committed war crimes there.

On today鈥檚 episode Katya speaks with 大象传媒 Eastern Europe Correspondent Sarah Rainsford, who recently returned to Bucha to hear from survivors. They鈥檙e also joined by the 大象传媒鈥檚 International Editor Jeremy Bowen, who was among the first journalists to arrive on the scene in Bucha in 2022. They consider whether international law is sufficiently equipped to prosecute allegations of war crimes, and if tangible justice is possible.
