More than a dozen dead bodies have been discovered along a road leading out of Kyiv after Russians reportedly executed civilians as they attempted to flee.
They were left behind by retreating Russian soldiers in what has been dubbed the highway of death.
The BBC report that the tragic people were found on the same stretch of road where Vladimir Putin's troops were caught on video executing a couple last month.
The broadcaster claim 13 bodies were counted between Mria and Myla, villages whose Ukrainian names translate as Dream and Sweetheart.
Two of the dead are confirmed as Ukrainian civilians. The others have yet to be officially identified.
They were found yards from where a couple were killed while trying to escape last month.
Emergency service members carried the bodies civilians killed by the Russian attacks and they were to be transferred to a mortuary.
Maksim Iowenko, his wife Ksjena and their six-year-old son were part of a convoy driving down the road when a Russian tank opened fire.
Their young son survived and a friend's mother, who was also in the vehicle when it came under fire from a Russian tank unit, was injured.
The BBC say bodies were strewn along a 200-yard stretch of the E-40 motorway that runs into Kyiv from the west.

Along the road full of burned out cars, petrol stations and a hotel were in ruins following the relentless shellings.
It is around five miles south of Irpin, a city recently reclaimed by Ukrainian troops.
Mayor Oleksandr Markushyn had confirmed around 3,500 people had stayed in the city, but this week that up to 300 civilians and 50 'defenders' were killed during during attacked.
It comes as Russia may cut off a third of Europe's gas supply today after governments rejected Putin's demand for payment to be made in roubles, with Germany calling it "blackmail".
Putin said he has signed a decree that foreign buyers must pay in roubles for Russian gas and in a televised address claimed contracts would be halted if these payments were not made.
It is the Russian leaders strongest response yet to massive economic sanctions that have been imposed by the West on the country following its invasion of Ukraine.
And a senior Russian foreign official said that the European Union will be hit hard for the sanctions, reported RIA.
"The actions of the EU will not remain unanswered ... the irresponsible sanctions by Brussels are already negatively affecting the daily lives of ordinary Europeans," Nikolai Kobrinets told the news agency.
