From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Battle of Bucha is an ongoing battle being fought for control over the city of Bucha between the Russian and Ukrainian armed forces during the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine. As part of the Kyiv offensive (2022), the Russian forces sought control over Bucha, Irpin, and Hostomel in order to encircle and besiege the Ukrainian capital city Kyiv from the west.[1][2] Due to the intensity of the Kyiv offensive, the Kyiv Oblast State Administration named Bucha, along with Irpin, Hostomel, Highway M06, and Vyshhorod as the most dangerous places in the Kyiv Oblast.[3]
