“The 64th separate motorized rifle brigade of the Eastern Military District has lost more than 90% of its personnel in the dead, wounded, deserters and dismissed as a result of refusing to participate in hostilities,” the General Staff said.

In July, analysts at the Institute for the Study of War argued that the Kremlin may have destroyed the brigade to cover up the atrocities in Bucha.

Buchan massacre

On the morning of February 24,  Russia launched a full-scale war against Ukraine . First, the enemy bombed military facilities, and then attacked the civilian population, in particular, the Kyiv region. Some of the settlements were temporarily occupied by Russian troops, including Bucha.

In early April, it became known that  Bucha had been liberated from the enemy . Mass graves were found in the city, in which there were hundreds of local residents. At the same time, signs of violent death were found on the bodies of the dead. In addition, the corpses of executed residents, including women, lay on the streets of Bucha. Many of the dead tried to be burned. 

Later, the mayor of Bucha, Anatoliy Fedoruk, said that the  opponents had killed more than 400 local residents . The invaders raped children and adults, so the military still find the bodies of tortured people. A group  of women and girls were kept in the basement of the house  for 25 days. Nine of them are now pregnant.

Russian President Vladimir  Putin noted the “heroism and courage” of the 64th separate motorized rifle brigade  of the Russian Ground Forces, which carried out a bloody massacre in Bucha in the Kiev region. He gave this brigade of rapists, marauders and murderers the name “Guards”.
