“Rescuers from all over Ukraine are going to dismantle the rubble in Borodyanka. The invaders wiped the village off the face of the earth,” said the head of the Kyiv OVA, Aleksey Kuleba.

Powerful exclusive footage emerging from the Ukrainian town of Borodyanka on April 6 shows swaths of destruction and a high-rise apartment building that officials say may have as many as 200 dead bodies buried in the rubble below.

Russian troops recently were forced out from the area around Borodyanka, a Ukrainian commuter town near Kyiv, the capital, that was among the first places to be hit by Russian airstrikes after the invasion and one that officials call the "worst hit."

"Many people are still under the rubble, including my surgeon nephew, his wife who is a nurse and their 4-year-old daughter," said Galina, a local woman who spoke on camera.

Footage shows Galina and Pavel struggling to survive in the devastated area.

"They just drove into Borodyanka, and just like that, they drove and shot. And [my wife's] brother's hut was burned down. The people were left with nothing. He left completely naked, now he is sitting with his mother," said Pavel, another resident who spoke on camera.

Hundreds of people who were sheltering in basements or apartments in Borodyanka are missing and presumed dead under the rubble, the acting mayor of the town said Tuesday.

Russia’s forced retreat from areas around Kyiv in recent days has unveiled potential war crimes in places like Bucha, another suburb of the capital just a few miles from Borodyanka.

Russian officials proclaimed that "not one citizen was harmed" in Bucha but evidence has mounted that Ukrainian civilians were killed by Russian forces, including bodies whose hands had been bound and who had been shot at close range.

"Looking at the scale of the destruction, we can only guess at how many terrible discoveries await us," said a Ukrainian official.

After Bucha, Irpin, Gostomel, we thought we were ready for anything. But Borodyanka…. This is the most terrible thing I have ever seen - the head of the Kiev OVA Oleksiy Kuleba.

at the beginning we see how firefighters work, under the rubble dozens of people under each house, today is the first day when they started working
Pavel(ukr/rus) 1. We sat here and saw tanks. Well, to put it simply, we were sitting in the cellar when a shell in front of us knocked out a five-story house opposite there. And it hits in a wave - my matchmaker lives there - a wave knocked down the roof, the car. And with the next house, it means that it was blown away by the wind. Do you understand? It can be seen that the planes were flying, the aircraft bombed
Galina(ukr) 2. Well, it's in this house. A female witness told us this yesterday. That Bobrovskaya, the therapist, called people, ml, I'm Bobrovskaya, the therapist, my son and husband are near me, and they did not allow any of our people. And yesterday they buried them all.
- A lot of people under the rubble?
- Many. And there is my nephew, he is a surgeon, golden hands, his wife is a nurse and a 4-year-old girl. Haven't even got it yet.
3. On the 1st-2nd of February, the air raid was in the evening. In the house where the nephew lived, the roof was blown off. Or vice versa. No, on the 1st evening, our house was smashed in a circle, and then in the morning there was an air raid, and all the houses went one by one.
4. shot exactly on the street. Lenin, how did you go. Well, our "old people" district is like that. They just drove into Borodyanka, and just like that, they drove and shot. And our Dimina's brother's hut was burned down. The people were left with nothing. He left completely naked, now he is sitting with his mother.
5. how these pussies came(young soldiers), 18-year-olds, they are like locusts. Everywhere climbs, climbs, immediately beats, cuts. When they were supposed to leave, an armored personnel carrier and a huge car drove by, and everything was taken out, everything was loaded. They didn't skimp on anything.
