The corpses of slain Russian soldiers line a road leading into a liberated Ukrainian village, graphic pictures show, as Kyiv‘s counteroffensive presses on.
Pictures from Storozheve, newly liberated by Ukraine’s forces this week, show bodies scattered in fields and on the roadside, among burnt-out armoured vehicles.
The grisly scenes bear witness to the ferocity of fighting as Ukrainian troops recaptured Storozheve and several other villages in the past few days as part of a counteroffensive in southern and eastern Ukraine.
The village had been occupied by Russian forces since March 2022, one month after Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
The soldiers said about 50 Russian soldiers were killed in a ‘mopping-up operation’ and four were taken prisoner.
Some of the dead Russian soldiers lay on the dusty ground beside the husks of their vehicles when Reuters journalists reached the village on Wednesday.
Others were crumpled in the grass and fields nearby where they died.
