According to SES: "On 11 April, 7 bodies were found in the process of clearing away the rubble of two high-rise apartment buildings. 226 workers took part in the clearing operation, as well as 42 units of equipment, and 20 volunteers from Kyiv.

19 people have been recovered from the rubble since the beginning of the clearing operation. Work continues."

Background:

• On 2 April the Kyiv region was liberated from Russian troops.
• After the withdrawal of Russian forces, numerous instances of civilian deaths have been recorded in the liberated towns and villages. In Bucha alone at least 400 people were killed during the Russian occupation, the majority of whom were shot, rather than hit by artillery fire.
• Ukraine and certain Western countries demand that Russia be held responsible for war crimes committed in the Kyiv region.
• The Kremlin denies allegations that Russian troops murdered civilians in Ukraine, despite satellite images that confirm the fact of civilian killings during the Russian occupation.
