BUCHA, Ukraine (AP) — The lush green beauty of a pine forest with singing birds contrasted with the violent deaths of newly discovered victims of Russia’s war in Ukraine, as workers exhumed bodies from another mass grave near the town of Bucha on Kyiv’s outskirts. I’m fighting not only for Ukraine, I’m fighting for European values. The mass grave that reporters saw Monday was just behind a trench dug out for a military vehicle. Ukrainian forces are fighting the enemy “block by block, street by street, house by house with a varying degree of success,” he told The AP. It was the fiercest shelling by Ukrainian forces since 2015, according to the Russian news agency RIA Novosti.
