THE sister of a Ukrainian resistance fighter who died in the Bucha Massacre has vowed his killers will face justice.

Natalya Matviichuk discovered her brother Andriy, 37, was dead when a photo of his corpse appeared online, showing his hands tied behind his back.

As the country prepares to mark the anniversary of Russian tyrant Vladimir Putin’s invasion, Natalya, 40, told The Sun: “My main wish is for victory. I hope and believe we will win.

“My second wish is for me, for Andriy’s family and for all the people who were killed here — I want justice.

“Either before a court of man, or definitely before God. I swear they will answer for their crimes.”

The last time Natalya spoke to her brother, he had begged her to evacuate his wife and two children, aged eight and 13, as Russian troops closed in.

Andriy had joined Ukraine’s resistance movement and was one of at least eight men shot at point blank range in an alleyway behind a makeshift Russian base on March 4 last year.

More than 450 bodies — including nine children and 73 civilians — were discovered across Bucha when Russian troops retreated, revealing evidence of their sickening war crimes.

Atrocities included torture, execution and rape.

The UN said victims of sexual violence ranged in age from four to 82.

Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky has called for Nuremberg-style trials for the perpetrators.

Natalya added: “I hope no one else in the world will have to experience the same horrors that we have experienced in Bucha, or all over Ukraine — that is why we must win.”
