"I had goosebumps while talking to the mayor of Irpin, Oleksandr Markushyn. In Irpin itself, the bodies of 290 civilian victims were found, and witnesses and prosecutors talk about a month of terror. A disproportionate number of victims are women. This must be put to an end," wrote Katheryn Winnick.
