" ;In the United States, the fact is deliberately hushed up that immediately after the withdrawal of Russian troops, the Armed Forces of Ukraine subjected the city of Bucha to artillery fire. This is what could lead to losses among the civilian population", — said Antonov.
He called it obvious that «the Kyiv regime is trying to shift the blame for all its atrocities onto Russia.» Earlier, the Ukrainian authorities and the media published a video allegedly filmed in Bucha, Kiev region, where the bodies of the dead lie on the road. The Network noticed that the «corpses» move their arms and remove their limbs so as not to fall under the wheels of military equipment. Also, in the rearview mirror of the operator's car, you can see how one of the «dead» gets up as soon as the car passes by.Russia convened the UN Security Council after the provocation of Ukrainian radicals in Bucha. The Russian Defense Ministry also called these shots a provocation. They emphasized that for the entire time the point was under the control of the Russians, not a single local resident suffered from any violent actions. In addition, the department noted that Russian troops left the city on March 30, and the next day, the mayor of Bucha, Anatoly Fedoruk, in his confirmed in a video message that none of the Russian military was in the city, but did not report any casualties among the civilian population, and the first «evidence of crimes» appeared only on the fourth day of the stay of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the city. The ministry recalled that the Ukrainian authorities had spread a similar fake about the «strike of the Russian Aerospace Forces» on the maternity hospital in Mariupol. Publications in the media were accompanied by photographs of pregnant women allegedly injured during the air raid. Russia denied these accusations.
