Bucha has been visited for a second time by US Senator Richard Blumenthal. He was first here in 2022, together with Senator Lindsey Graham, who died in July this year.
The visit was reported by Bucha mayor Anatolii Fedoruk.
In the four years since that first trip the town has changed. But the memory of what happened remains, the mayor said — and the senator again visited the Church of St Andrew.
It was there in 2022 that a mass grave was found holding dozens of murdered residents. The site has become one of the main places to which foreign delegations are brought.
"We talked about the recovery of the community and about support for veterans, because Richard Blumenthal has worked on these issues in the US Senate for many years," Anatolii Fedoruk said.
In the mayor's words, it matters to the community that Ukraine's voice in Washington stays strong and that pressure on Russia and Iran increases.
"We value this visit and the support for Bucha and Ukraine," the mayor added. He also voiced hope for continued backing of the sanctions bill that Lindsey Graham once introduced.
As a reminder, the innocent victims are commemorated by the Church of St Andrew in Bucha.
