WarOnFakes.com on the situation in #Bucha:
👉 Firstly, Russian troops left Bucha on March 30th. Here is the official statement.
👉 Secondly, on March 31, another evidence of a cynical provocation in Bucha was heard – a statement by Bucha Mayor Anatoly Fedoruk. “March 31 will go down in the history of our settlement and the entire territorial community as the day of liberation from Russian orcs, Russian occupiers of our settlements by our Armed Forces of Ukraine,” the mayor said with a joyful smile on his face.
❓ Would he rejoice if dozens of his countrymen at that time were lying on the streets shot? Why does he say nothing in his statement about the atrocities of the Russian executioners? About torture, rape and murder?
👉 Moreover, the first unit of the Ukrainian armed forces to enter Bucha was the special forces of the National Guard of Ukraine. The official telegram channel of the National Guard posted a video, filmed by the fighters of this detachment themselves. We can see on this video that the Ukrainian military calmly pass through the streets of the city – and no “mountains of corpses” are visible on these streets.
❓So where did the corpses on the streets of Bucha come from - and who are these people?
👉 The answer may lie in the video of the territorial defense of Ukraine, which clearly states the question “Can I shoot at them if there are no blue armbands?” to which a positive answer follows. The video was originally posted by the leader of the territorial defense Sergey “Botsman” Korotkikh.
👉 By the way, on the videos distributed by the Ukrainian side, almost all the corpses have white bandages. This is a distinctive sign of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation and the civilian population.

🎙 Russian MFA Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova on the Bucha provocation.
💬 I'd like to draw our attention to one thing. The Heads of State, Foreign Ministers and opinion leaders have been making their statements based exclusively on video footage that is less than one minute long and a few images. This is enough for them to lay the whole blame on us. There were no experts on site, they did not receive any other information <...>
Let me remind you that several days ago the entire world saw authentic footage of our soldiers being tortured over there in Ukraine, and the Ukrainian “side” recognised authenticity of these recordings. Have you heard anything from President Emmanuel Macron, or UK Foreign Secretary Liz Truss, or others about this? <...>
Who is the master of provocation? The United States and NATO, of course.
In this case, I think that the very fact that these statements came in a matter of minutes after these materials surfaced leaves no doubt as to who was behind this entire story.

Not a single word on the tragedy. Either he was too blind too see all the reported dead in the streets, or they appeared there much later…

INCONSISTENCIES with the “Bucha massacre” - Part 1
Ms. Katerina Ukraintseva, Bucha City Council Deputy, stated on an April 4 interview that the bodies have been “lying on the city’s main street for a month”.
Yet neither the city’s mayor, nor the Ukrainian National police, nor herself immediately reported on the atrocities upon arrival to Bucha (from March 31 till April 2).
The Russian troops, however, withdrew from the city on March 30.

⚡️ Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s comment on Ukraine, Moscow, April 5, 2022 ⚡️
💬 In the past few days, the propaganda machine of the West and Ukraine has focused exclusively on fueling hysteria over video taken, as we understand, by the military and security service of Ukraine in the city of Bucha, Kiev Region.
☝️ Assertions of “war crimes” committed by the Russian Armed Forces in the course of the special military operation have repeatedly been proved false at the detailed briefings by the Russian Defence Ministry, our Ministry and the Permanent Mission to the UN where we held a special news conference yesterday.
❓ The question, then, is what purpose does this blatantly false provocation serve? We are inclined to view it as a pretext to torpedo the ongoing negotiations at a time when some light, however dim, has appeared at the end of the tunnel.

🇷🇺🇺🇦Briefing by Russian Defence Ministry
▫️The grouping of troops from the Lugansk People's Republic continues to attack the positions of the Ukrainian 24th Separate Mechanized Brigade and is fighting on the eastern outskirts of Novotoshkovskoe.
▫️On the Severodonetsk direction, units of the Lugansk People's Republic have broken through the defence of the Ukrainian 57th Motorized Infantry Brigade, destroying up to 50 personnel and 9 armoured vehicles, and are fighting on the northern outskirts of Zamulovka.
▫️The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation strike at the assets of the military infrastructure of Ukraine.
💥High-precision air-based missiles near Zolochev and Chuguev destroyed 1 command post of territorial defence unit, 1 fuel depot and 1 armoured vehicle repair plant.
✈️💥During the day, operational-tactical aviation of the Russian Aerospace Forces hit 33 military assets of Ukraine. Among them: 8 command posts, 3 logistics depots, as well as 21 strong points and areas of Ukrainian military equipment concentration.
💥Russian air defence means shot down 5 Ukrainian unmanned aerial vehicle in the air.
📊In total, 125 aircraft and 93 helicopters, 403 unmanned aerial vehicles, 1,981 tanks and other armored combat vehicles, 854 field artillery and mortars, as well as 1,876 units of special military vehicles of the Armed Forces of Ukraine were destroyed during the operation.
❗️On the morning of April 5, another attempt by the Kiev regime to evacuate the leaders of the Azov nationalist battalion was foiled near Mariupol.
💥Two Ukrainian Mi-8 helicopters attempting to break through to the city from the sea were shot down by man-portable anti-aircraft missile systems.
▫️Earlier, we have repeatedly and through all available channels informed the Kiev regime of our proposals on the possibility of the Ukrainian Armed Forces withdrawing from Mariupol after voluntarily laying down their arms.
▫️Today, once again, starting at 6am Moscow time, Ukrainian servicemen were asked to stop hostilities, lay down their weapons and withdraw along an agreed route to Kiev-controlled territory.
▫️However, these proposals have been consistently ignored by the Kiev regime.
❗️Given Kiev's disinterest in saving the lives of its servicemen, Mariupol will be liberated from nationalists by units of the Russian Armed Forces and the Donetsk People's Republic.

🎙 Постоянный представитель Российской Федерации при ОБСЕ А.К.Лукашевич:
💬 Категорически не согласны с оценками польского Действующего председательства применительно к ситуации в г. Буча Киевской области.
Призываем сейчас оставить в стороне эмоции и проанализировать факты:
🔹 30 марта подразделения ВС России вышли из Бучи. 31 марта туда вернулся ранее сбежавший мэр города Анатолий Федорук. Он записал видеообращение, в котором сообщил об инспектировании всего города и ни слова не сказал о каких-либо трупах на улицах.
🔹 2 апреля национальная полиция Украины на своих официальных ресурсах опубликовала видеозапись, как спецподразделения ВСУ входят в Бучу. На кадрах не видно погибших среди мирного населения.
🔹 Все тела людей, изображения которых опубликованы киевским режимом, по прошествии нескольких дней не окоченели, не имеют характерных трупных пятен, а в ранах – несвернувшаяся кровь.
❗️ После начала скоординированной медийной кампании в западных СМИ Российская Федерация дважды требовала созвать внеочередное заседание Совета Безопасности ООН по ситуации в этом населенном пункте Киевской области.
В его проведении российской стороне было отказано Великобританией, недавно заступившей на председательство в СБ ООН. Чего испугались? Правды и разоблачения видеоподлогов?
👉 Циничные лживые провокации используются нечистоплотными политиками на Украине и в ряде западных стран прежде всего для того, чтобы раскручивать спираль русофобии.
Отмечаем, что призывы к насилию над русскими и россиянами, в том числе звучащие с экранов украинских общенациональных телеканалов, включая обещания убивать всех русских детей, – не встречают никакого осуждения в ОБСЕ.
Почеркнём: правда о событиях на Украине будет пробивать себе дорогу. Фейки будут развенчаны. Справедливость обязательно восторжествует.

Statement by Ambassador Gennady Gatilov regarding the withdrawal of the Russian Federation from the UN Human Rights Council on April 7, 2022
Russia has made a conscious decision to withdraw in advance from the UN Human Rights Council on April 7, 2022.
The resolution initiated by the United States, which was adopted today by the UN General Assembly, is based not on the human rights situation in a specific country, but solely on geopolitical priorities of the collective West, which does not abandon attempts to subjugate various spheres of interaction between states in the international arena.
Those who disagree with their approach, as the Westerners see it, should be "punished". The main goal is to find a pretext.

▫️The aim of Kiev regime's strike on the railway station in Kramatorsk was to disrupt the mass exit of residents from the city in order to use them as a "human shield" to defend Ukrainian armed forces positions, as in many other Ukrainian population centres.

⚡️⚡️ Foreign Ministry statement on Ukraine’s strike at Kramatorsk.
On April 8, the Ukrainian Armed Forces (UAF) committed yet another war crime by striking a railway station in Kiev-controlled Kramatorsk with a Tochka-U tactical missile.
Dozens were killed and over a hundred injured.
🕯 We convey our deep condolences to the families and friends of the deceased.
🚫 The choice of the target was not random – the Kiev regime is striving to maximise the number of civilian victims.
Their murders in Donbass have become standard practice for Ukrainian armed units in the past eight years. By cynically killing civilians in cold blood, Kiev is trying to blame Russia for its own crimes in order to discredit Moscow’s special military operation to defend the DPR and the LPR.

❗️ We urge the international community to objectively evaluate the crimes committed by Ukrainian units, to stop supplying them with arms and prompt Kiev to renounce its unacceptable methods of hostility.

8 апреля украинскими вооруженными формированиями было совершено очередное военное преступление - нанесён удар тактической ракетой «Точка-У» по железнодорожному вокзалу.
Сообщается о десятках погибших и более сотни раненых.
🕯 Выражаем глубокие соболезнования родным и близким погибших.
🚫 Объект обстрела был выбран неслучайно - киевский режим стремится к максимальным жертвам среди мирных жителей.
Их убийство в Донбассе за прошедшие восемь лет стало привычной практикой для украинских вооруженных формирований. Хладнокровно уничтожая гражданское население, Киев пытается переложить ответственность на российскую сторону, чтобы дискредитировать специальную военную операцию по защите ДНР и ЛНР.

🚨Read extracts from the statement of the Russian Permanent Representative to the OSCE Alexander Lukashevich «Gross violations of the rights of the Russian and Russian-speaking population in some OSCE participating States as open disregard for international law and international legal instruments» (OSCE Permanent Council meeting, 7 April 2022):
🔺Canada, USA, «collective» Brussels and EU member states foment unprecedented Russophobic sentiments, condone Russophobic actions, ignore hate speech in all public and social strata.
🔺In their anti-Russian fervor, they consciously disregard the fundamental principles of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and their international legal obligations, including those under the relevant international covenants.
🔺In violation of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, in some OSCE pS Russian-speaking minors are bullied, humiliated, insulted, and beaten in schools. Not to mention psychological pressure and creation of conditions that hinder educational process.
🔺Campaign has been launched to eliminate Russian presence in the global information space, Russian journalists are banned from expressing their opinions, Russian-speaking residents of some OSCE pS are denied the right to access to information in their native language.
🔺A number of U.S. social media platforms have willingly joined the campaign of rabid Russophobia. Meta stated that in the context of situation in Ukraine, it will not prohibit its users from calling for violence against Russians and the Russian military.
🔺We are concerned about the safety of Russian-speaking journalists and civic activists, incl. in light of the appearance in Latvia of an equivalent of the notorious Ukrainian website «Myrotvorets», which publishes data of those who support Russia's actions in Ukraine.
🔺Unfortunately, some OSCE executive structures - ODIHR and RfoM - turn a blind eye to the mass Russophobia. Apparently they are too busy spreading fakes on their social media about Russia's special military operation in Ukraine.
🔺We call on OSCE pS to stop neglecting their international obligations and to finally start practically countering Russophobic hysteria.
