BUCHA, UKRAINE – The city of Bucha, a suburb of Kyiv, witnessed some of Russia's worst atrocities since the war started. Hundreds of civilians were brutally murdered and buried in mass graves leading to accusations of war crimes. Amidst the horrors, are stories of miracles and God's protection from Russian forces.
CBN News recently traveled along one of the main roads leading to Bucha, a city on the outskirts of Kyiv. Along this highway, burned-out Russian tanks serve as a reminder of Moscow's failed attempts to capture Kyiv. At one point, this spot became a popular gathering place for people taking pictures and walking amidst the charred remains. "The Russians should take these tanks and parade them in Moscow," Oleksandr, a resident of Volyn, told CBN News. "The fact that we forced them out of Bucha is God's miracle! This is God's miracle and nothing else."
Despite the victory, the horrors of what happened in Bucha continue to haunt the nation. "I would like for people to pray for our city that God would give peace in people's hearts," Anohin told CBN News. There's a lot of anger and hatred for what the Russians did to us but I'm praying God will touch us and give us peace." Anohin, whose home was destroyed on the second day of the war, says residents of Bucha are slowly returning, trying to get back to normal. Still, the trauma from the war lingers and the healing is only beginning. "I would like our city to be remembered for those who were loyal, those who protected the city, and were faithful to God."
