Talk:Bucha massacre

Precedents
Eleven years ago I and Adam Larson spent a lot of time analyzing what we called the "Khamis Brigade Massacre" in Tripoli, Libya.

Behind a military base was a shed that was used as a morgue. Some 50 dead Libyan solders had been collected there. When NATO forces reached the base they set the bodies on fire. They then claimed that these were "civilians that Gaddafi had massacred." Every Western media repeated the lie!

Russian MoD statement
⚡️🇷🇺Russian Defence Ministry denies accusations of Kiev regime of allegedly killing civilians in Bucha, Kiev Region

❗️All the photos and videos published by the Kiev regime allegedly testifying to some "crimes" committed by Russian servicemen in Bucha, Kiev region are just another provocation.

▫️During the time that the town has been under the control of the Russian armed forces, not a single local resident has suffered from any violent action. Russian servicemen have delivered and distributed 452 tonnes of humanitarian aid to civilians in Kiev Region.

▫️For as long as the town was under the control of the Russian armed forces and even then, up to now, locals in Bucha were moving freely around the town and using cellular phones.

❗️The exits from Bucha were not blocked. All local residents were free to leave the town in northern direction, including to the Republic of Belarus. At the same time, the southern outskirts of the city, including residential areas, were shelled round the clock by Ukrainian troops with large-calibre artillery, tanks and multiple launch rocket systems.

❗️We would like to emphasise that all Russian units withdrew completely from Bucha as early as March 30, the day after the Russia-Ukraine face-to-face round of talks in Turkey.

▫️Moreover, on March 31, the mayor of Bucha, Anatoliy Fedoruk, confirmed in a video message that there were no Russian servicemen in the town, but he did not even mention any locals shot in the streets with their hands tied.

▫️It is not surprising, therefore, that all the so-called "evidence of crimes" in Bucha did not emerge until the fourth day, when the Security Service of Ukraine and representatives of Ukrainian media arrived in the town.

▫️It is of particular worry that all the bodies of the people whose images have been published by the Kiev regime are not stiffened after at least four days, have no typical cadaver stains, and the wounds contain unconsumed blood.

❗️All this confirms conclusively that the photos and video footage from Bucha are another production by the Kiev regime for the Western media, as was the case in Mariupol with the maternity hospital, as well as in other cities.

Pavel Gubarev on Telegram, translation posted as a comment on Saker's blog:
 * ''Regarding what happened in Bucha, I can add my 5 kopecks after Alexander Kots. From 2 to 31 I was part of the battalion in this direction. In all the settlements occupied by our military, the movement of civilians along the street was carried out with a white bandage on their left arm. I saw this in Ivankovo, Krasny Rog, Maryanovka and other settlements where we went on combat missions.
 * ''I guess the following happened. After the withdrawal of the RF Armed Forces from this theater of operations following the results of negotiations in Turkey, the Armed Forces of Ukraine began to enter cities and villages and unintentionally (and I do not exclude that on purpose) opened fire on men with a white bandage on their hands. It happened en masse. And when they realized that they were massacring civilians, it was decided to present this crime of theirs as the work of the RF Armed Forces.

 * The same question as everyone else: where were those killed on the way at the time of the entry of the Armed Forces of Ukraine? The dead appeared later, under the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The state should protect citizens, not kill without trial and investigation!

 * Alex, 9 hours ago (313)
 * Ummm one question ... Where are all the bodies that all our media are trumpeting about? The National Police was the first to enter Bucha, and then there was not a single body on the street (except for the first seconds) ... And after entering, well, the police were already asking the media, and suddenly terrible shots appeared ...
 * WayDownWeGo, 7 hours ago (175)
 * Just great guys! We entered the city when there were no more Russian troops. And the next day they publish a video that the Russians left behind heaps of corpses. In this video, apparently these civilians are still alive.
 * Anna Nekhokhlova, 7 hours ago (159)
 * No corpses, no complaints about corpses, just hypocritical smiles like "we were waiting for you" ...
 * Andrey Chelentanov, 8 hours ago (235)
 * Handsome! Thank you for the video... now it's clear after whom the corpses appeared on the streets... after this cleansing.
 * Amalagus, 9 hours ago (99)
 * The same warriors the next day cleared the city of the civilian population, do I understand the story of the corpses on the streets correctly?
 * MrTheMamash, 8 hours ago (167)
 * What is it? That the Armed Forces of Ukraine took the abandoned city on the 2nd without corpses on the streets? Then why did a mountain of corpses appear on the streets on the 3rd after their cleansing? It turns out that during the night they shot all those who disagreed without trial or investigation?
 * Murad Bulatov, 9 hours ago (187)
 * Video from the second of April, why didn’t a single corpse, which everyone is talking about today, get into the frame? Video from the second of April, why didn't a single corpse get into the frame, which everyone is talking about today?

Alexander Kots on execution video
You know what hooked me the most in the new brutal video of the murder of our fighters. They did not die in battle, they were killed in cold blood when they were already captured. One of our fighters is twitching and wheezing. He is finished off with shots from a machine gun under satisfied comments. At first I assumed that the wheezing was the result of a bullet hitting the lung. But the camera grabs one of the dead. White bandage on the sleeve, hands tied behind the back. Exactly exactly as on the frames from Bucha, similar handwriting.

They didn't die from bullets. Under each of the paratroopers is a large pool of scarlet blood. This does not happen after a gunshot wound. Most likely they were ambushed and captured by beasts in military uniform. Tied hands speak for it. And then, one by one, their throats were slit - the wheezing indicates just that.

The bastards who record their truest war crime lack the reflection, shame, and moral restraints that separate us humans from terrorist scum like ISIS*. The same non-humans with police armbands and chevrons of the SS division of Galicia 80 years ago stabbed babies with bayonets, broke bone after bone for partisans, drove women and the elderly into barns, setting them on fire and enjoying screams of horror. They are proud of their infernal cruelty, they shoot a video, send it to friends, maybe even relatives: “Look, mom, what a garrulous son you raised. I'm already cutting my own throats." I wonder what mother thinks about her child-murderer. And against this background, a bearded Chechen officer from the National Guard (who, no doubt, can cut off the head of an enemy) is lecturing a battalion of captured Ukrainian marines about friendship between peoples. 260 people surrendered the day before to Russian troops in Mariupol, knowing that they would not be tortured. That they will not be shot, their throats will not be cut, they will be kept warm, fed, treated if necessary. And they will return home to their mother with a glowing and pinkish look. This is the difference between us - between humans and crazed animal terrorists.

Boatswain video
⚡️ 🇬🇧 🇺🇦 “Please don't kill. Do not want!"

We once again watched the video of Boatswain and Beleniuk from Bucha. The one where the go-ahead is given to shoot at people without blue armbands.

If you turn the volume up to the maximum, then at the very end of the video you can hear the words “Please don’t kill. Do not want!" and two "shuffles" similar to the sounds of gunshots recorded on a GoPro camera. A young guy of 20 years old is screaming.

This is a direct confirmation of the fact that local residents were shot on Vokzalnaya Street after the withdrawal of Russian troops. The execution itself was carried out on Vokzalnaya Street, in the very place where the Russian column was burned on February 27. For convenience, we attach a diagram.

Ilya Kiva on Bucha

 * Ilya Kiva, on Bucha April 2022 - April 4, 2022 (video)
 * ''People are really stupid, I read the comments and I just have no words, and once again I tell you, the official information: The whole story in Bucha was prepared and planned in advance by the SBU and MI6. They arrived early in the morning, cordoned off the area, scattered the corpses and then sent journalists there. That's why that clown Zelensky even came back. To raise the interest of the international press in the alleged tragedy, but it's all a pure fake. Why didn't such a situation take place in other areas? Don`t you understand that it was staged in advance, which was supposed to arouse the aggression and hatred in you first of all. But it didn't happen.
