The official statement of the Russian Defense Ministry about Buchа
The Russian Defense Ministry refutes the accusations of the Kiev regime in the alleged murder of civilians in the settlement of Bucha, Kiev region
All the photos and videos published by the Kiev regime, allegedly testifying to some "crimes" of Russian servicemen in the city of Bucha, Kiev region, are another provocation.
During the time that this settlement was under the control of the Russian armed forces, not a single local resident suffered from any violent actions. Russian servicemen delivered and issued 452 tons of humanitarian aid to civilians in the settlements of the Kiev region.
While the city was under the control of the Russian armed forces, and especially after, until today, in Bucha, local residents freely moved around the city and used cellular communications.
Exits from the city of Bucha were not blocked. All local residents had the opportunity to freely leave the settlement in the northern direction, including to the Republic of Belarus. At the same time, the southern outskirts of the city, including residential areas, were shelled around the clock by Ukrainian troops with large-caliber artillery, tanks, and multiple rocket launchers.
We would like to emphasize that all Russian units completely withdrew from Bucha on March 30, the day after the face-to-face round of negotiations between Russia and Ukraine in Turkey.
Moreover, on March 31, the mayor of Bucha, Anatoly Fedoruk, confirmed in his video message that there was no Russian military in the city, but he did not even mention any local residents shot in the streets with their hands tied.
Therefore, it is not surprising that all the so-called "evidence of crimes" in Bucha appeared only on the 4th day, when SBU officers and representatives of Ukrainian television arrived in the city.
Of particular concern is the fact that all the bodies of people whose images were published by the Kiev regime, after at least four days, have not stiffened, do not have characteristic cadaveric spots, and blood has not turned up in the wounds.
All this irrefutably confirms that the photos and video frames from Bucha are another staging of the Kiev regime for the Western media, as it was in Mariupol with the maternity hospital, as well as in other cities.
