BBC Radio 4 - The Man Who Came Back from the Dead

The incredible story of the only survivor of one of the worst atrocities in the early stages of the war in Ukraine.

The incredible story of Ivan Skyba, the sole survivor of one of the worst atrocities of the early stages of the war in Ukraine. In March 2022, Russian troops shot dead eight unarmed men in a mass execution in the town of Bucha, outside Kiev.
