The Ukrainian Bucha and the Hungarian Bucsa were twin cities before the war. Now, the residents of the Hungarian village, with more than 2,000 residents, mourn those massacred in Bucha. Some of them even became frantic with fear when they heard about the mass executions in Bucha. They thought something terrible had taken place in their village. Only later did they realise that the horrors the radio talked about had happened thousands of kilometres away. Now, they would like to show their support for the victims somehow.
Many were in panic in Bucsa
According to Blikk, the Hungarian village of Bucsa in Békés County, southeast Hungary, is an island of peace. Meanwhile, their Ukrainian twin city, Bucha, became a symbol of brutality and war crime in the last few days. Though the Russians do not admit it, evidence supports the claim that withdrawing Russian troops committed mass executions in the Ukrainian city, which had 28,000 residents before the war. Shocking images showed bodies left on the streets, and these photos reached almost every part of the world.
News outlets say the victims were civilians who left their houses and flats to find food for their families. Most of them were executed, shot in the head. Ukrainian authorities found more bodies in the cellars and discovered mass graves close to the city. The Ukrainian town became a symbol of war crimes, and several bodies are working tirelessly to find out the perpetrators’ identities.
When they heard on the radio, residents of the Hungarian Bucsa village thought something terrible had happened in their village.
Some even called the mayor’s office where they learned the horrors took place thousands of kilometres away, in their Ukrainian twin city.
