I'm Carl Ottergall. I reported from Bucha, Ukraine, on Sunday, April 3rd.

We drove in from the west and one of the first things you see is along the highway and

then at intersections smashed cars. You can't understand how or what happened but it's

chilling because some of them look like they've been pushed aside by tanks or even rolled over.

And so when we got into Bucha just as we were exploring and that's what you do when you're

her feet still in her sort of patterned socks and galoshes hooking out under the boards.

So that was one of the first things that happened to us when we drove into Bucha on Sunday.

I ended up talking to the town's corner and he's found so many bodies that he dug a mass grave

in a church yard and even on the day when we met he had found 13 bodies with their hands tied

and shot in the head in an execution. He showed me a video on his cell phone of the scene of five
