Ukraine flag raised by soldiers in Bucha after city suffers devastation from Russian attack

The flag of Ukraine has been raised by defiant soldiers in the city of Bucha, which has been near-destroyed by Russian attacks in recent days.

In footage shared by the Ukrainian armed forces on social media, a group of four troops can be seen saluting the flag, which is hoisted into the air outside a city council building.

“Glory to Ukraine and its soldiers,” the video caption reads.
