**That thursday also, the 234th Air Assault Regiment returned to Bucha after having been withdrawn shortly, following the severe casualties suffered February 27th in the battle of the Giraffe mall. It deployed to Yablonska Street, which runs East to West forming the Southern outline of Bucha, facing Irpin to the South. The whole area was calm, and had been for days, with no fighting, artillery or hardly any military presense. It was possible for the trapped civilians to go to the grocery stores and resupply. These islands of calm, and a normality that seems absurd, were not uncommon during the battle of Kyiv. The 234th Air Assault advanced along the street, calmly, gunning down all civilians on sight, destroying all vehicles wether static or mobile, wether civilians inside or not. They entered houses, arrested and detained male civilians found. Practically all of them were executed. Some were brought to temporary bases (Yablonska Street 144 being the most infamous) where they were tortured and executed. Out in the streets there was no such discrimination, males and females alike of all ages were simply gunned down on sight. The paratroopers were to go on like this for days, if not weeks. There were no Ukrainian military threats in that part of Bucha. This was not revenge and the men did not run amok, they were calm, cameras showing them going about their business systematically — they were in Russian command and control. In one incident, paras were calmly resting, drinking water, watching a desperate woman finding her husband with half his head blown off — By the paras, minutes before. They display no reaction at all.** - Upscaled by <@1086184407775322184> (fast)
