War in Ukraine: Video | Drone footage of Irpin’s destruction | Videos

The video of a drone that accompanies this news shows the destruction that the Ukrainian city of Irpin has suffered in the first 65 days of war. The Russian offensive hit this town particularly hard, reaching its greatest intensity at the end of March. Irpin was also one of the hotspots of the most intense fighting in the counterattack of the Ukrainian forces that caused the Kremlin to reorganize its conquest, focusing on the east to take control of the Donbas region.

The razed houses that can be seen in this video gave shelter to a population of 62,000 people before the war. Many of its residents were caught up in the offensive and had to flee the bombs on foot, trapping themselves. The Ukrainian police have assured that they have already examined 269 corpses left behind by the Russian invaders. For its part, Moscow denies having carried out attacks against civilians and denies the accusations of war crimes made by Ukraine, several countries of the European Union and the United States government, among others.
