'I won't leave him': Ukrainian mother weeps after finding corpse of her young son at roadside grave in Bucha

The distraught mother named Lyudmyla found the corpse of her dead son Yevhenii at a roadside grave behind a razed petrol station in Bucha.

KYIV: As Ukrainian authorities have begun to exhume a mass grave in Bucha to ascertain the alleged war crimes committed by the Russian troops, more shocking and devastating images from the Kyiv commuter town have come to the fore.

The Strait Times published a heart-wrenching story about a Ukrainian mother crying inconsolably after finding the corpse of her young son at a roadside grave in Bucha. The distraught mother named Lyudmyla found the corpse of her dead son Yevhenii at a roadside grave behind a razed petrol station in Bucha.

She had found the corpse of her adult son inside a manhole lying with another man. The Ukrainian mother found the body of his 23-year-old son warped by water, shrouded in sediment and eclipsed by an army sleeping mat.

As the Ukrainian investigators tried to move her away from the manhole, she resisted shouting “my little son" and urged the authorities to let her see him “for a while.’’

The poor woman had recognized her son by his distinctive footwear, claimed the report. "I won't leave," she cried, hugging the ground where her son's remains had been dumped out of sight.
