Bucha es el último símbolo de la dramática guerra en Ucrania. La localidad, ubicada a 25 kilómetros de Kiev, estaba en control de los efectivos de Rusia hasta esta semana. Los videos y fotografías que se han dado a conocer desde este sábado, varios de ellos con contenido explícito, han remecido al mundo. Mientras Rusia niega los hechos o que se hayan cometido “crímenes de guerra” durante la ocupación de la ciudad, Ucrania ha exigido un endurecimiento de las sanciones y denuncia una “masacre”, con centenares de víctimas civiles.

Durante este fin de semana, tanto las tropas ucranianas como periodistas y fotógrafos de medios y agencias internacionales han llegado a Bucha para ver la situación en que quedó la ciudad de 30 mil habitantes. A continuación, La Tercera publica una selección de imágenes. Se advierte a los lectores que su contenido es explícito y puede herir la sensibilidad de algunas personas. Sin embargo, su valor periodístico como documentación hace que sea ineludible su publicación para comprender las denuncias y las reacciones a nivel mundial.
