I watched the PBS Newshour last night (4/4/22). In the program they showed a bit more graphically the dead in those streets.
Some shown were clearly not freshly dead. They were decaying. The fingers and hands of several were black and deteriorating.
Look, I ain't been around dead humans much. Hardly at all. But I'm an old farm kid. We experienced, saw, handled, and disposed of dead critters. Even I know that it takes a bit of time for mammals of our size to show such degree of decay. Those dead Ukranians were dead during the Russian occupation. Those dead Ukranians were dead because of the Russian occupation.
Duh!
