[Asia Economy Reporter Hwang Sumi] Traces of Russian soldiers' identities were found in Bucha near Kyiv, the capital of Ukraine.

According to recent major foreign media reports, the Ukrainian Ministry of Justice confirmed that while investigating traces of Russian war crimes in Bucha, the phrase "Wolf_68" was spray-painted on the interior wall of a civilian house.

This was part of the social media ID of Russian soldier Kirill Kryuchkov. According to Kryuchkov's acquaintances, he served in the 234th Assault Aviation Regiment of the 76th Guards Air Assault Division. It is also reported that he frequently expressed contempt toward Ukraine.

Meanwhile, evidence of massacres committed by Russia against Ukrainian civilians is emerging one after another. According to the United Nations, over 300 cases of suspected civilian killings have been reported in areas once controlled by Russian forces, including Kyiv, Chernihiv, Kharkiv, and Sumy.

A large-scale mass grave was also discovered in the outskirts of Mariupol, Ukraine. The American satellite company Maxar Technologies released satellite images showing a large mass grave created by Russian forces in the northwest area of Manhush, Ukraine. At the time, Maxar Technologies stated that Russian forces were moving the bodies of Mariupol civilian casualties to the burial site in the Manhush area.

The Ukrainian Ministry of Defense also revealed the identities of 10 suspects involved in the civilian massacre in Bucha. On the 28th of last month (local time), the Ministry of Defense posted on Twitter, "The identities of the massacre perpetrators belonging to the Russian 64th Mechanized Brigade responsible for the Bucha massacre have been confirmed," and disclosed their names and faces.

However, Russia claims that the civilian massacre allegations are merely fabrications by Ukraine.
