The president of the giant Russian aluminum industry Rusal called yesterday, Thursday, for an investigation into the deaths of civilians in Bouka, whom he characterized as a crime, and for an end to the “fratricidal” conflict that has been raging since February 24.
Although the announcement by Bernard Zenefeld, a Dutch citizen, does not address who is responsible for the deaths of civilians in this suburb of Kiev, it is extremely unusual for a large Russian company to publicly comment on the conflict, which the Kremlin calls a “military operation”. ».
Ukraine and Western governments accuse the Russian military of committing war crimes in Bukha, where the bodies of civilians were found after the withdrawal of its units.
The Kremlin has denied that Russian forces killed civilians, and on Tuesday described the war crimes allegations as “monstrous forgery” aimed at tarnishing the Russian military.
Mr Zenefeld said he was shocked by the news of what had happened in the city. “We support an objective and impartial investigation into this crime and call for the perpetrators to be severely punished,” he said.
“We all hope that this fratricidal conflict, which is destroying lives, families and entire cities, will end as soon as possible.” “And we want those responsible for such crimes to be punished as they deserve.”
Aleg Deripaska, the founder of Rusal, recently said that in his personal opinion the war in Ukraine is a “madness” that will shame it and future generations in Russia.
