For “provocations” and “staged show” in the city of Bouka Moscow is talking, denying that Russian forces killed civilians in the Ukrainian city. A statement from Russia’s Defense Ministry said, “The videos and photos of the corpses are” another provocation. “
According to the ministry, all Russian military units had left city on March 30. The statement also said that Russian troops had delivered 452 tonnes of humanitarian aid to residents of communities in the greater Kiev area.
Moscow also claims, according to the unofficial translation of the statement published by Reuters, that throughout the occupation of the city the inhabitants of Buka were free to move and use their mobile phones, exits were not blocked and all were able to leave to the north, to Belarus, while the southern suburbs “including residential areas”, were bombed by Ukrainian forces.
“We want to emphasize in particular that all Russian forces withdrew completely from Bukha on March 30, a day after the face-to-face negotiations between Russia and Ukraine in Turkey. Also on March 31, Bouka mayor Anatoly Fedoruk confirmed in a videotaped message that there were no Russian soldiers in the city, but did not even mention that locals had been shot in the streets with their hands tied. “Therefore, it is not surprising that all the so-called evidences of crimes in Bukhara appeared only on the fourth day, when the officers of the SBU (Security Service of Ukraine) and representatives of the Ukrainian television arrived in the city.”
The statement also claimed that the dead in the pictures released by Ukraine do not have funeral rigidity, nor is there blood on their wounds. “All this unequivocally confirms that the photos and videos from Bouka are another staged representation of the Kiev regime for the Western media, as I did in Mariupol with the maternity hospital and in other cities,” the statement concluded.
Towards new sanctions in Russia
The West today blamed Russian military forces for the committing atrocities in the Kiev region, after the statement of the mayor of Bukha that 300 residents of the city, were killed during the Russian occupation that lasted for a month.
The US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken said in an interview with CNN today that the images of the large number of dead Ukrainians in the city of Bukha, after the withdrawal of Russian military forces “are a punch in the stomach.”
He condemned the Russian atrocities in the Ukrainian city of Bukhara near Kyiv on Sunday and Berlin announcing new sanctions against Moscow.
