Ukrainian military in the city of BuchaMOSCOW, Apr 3The staged video from Kiev Bucha, which was denied by the Russian Ministry of Defense and called a provocation, can be compared with the fake videos of the White Helmets from Syria, says Bogdan Bezpalko, a member of the Council on Interethnic Relations under the President of the Russian Federation. «Of course, Syria is also a training ground where everyone these informational and psychological technologies were being worked out… The fact that there will be a lot of fakes here is obvious,» Bezpalko told RIA Novosti, adding that the Russian army «did not carry out any mass executions,» «such a goal and task has never been set in in principle it couldn't be».
Russia convened the UN Security Council after the provocation of Ukrainian radicals in BuchaAs he noted, «it is obvious that this is a fake, but which will be used 100%.» Earlier, the Ukrainian authorities and the media distributed a video allegedly filmed in the city of Bucha, Kiev region, where bodies lie on the road dead. Users 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 rear-view mirror of the operator’s car, one can see how one of the “dead” gets up as soon as the car passes by. Bucha, Kiev region, are «another provocation.» As noted in the military department, during the time this settlement was under the control of the Russian Armed Forces, not a single local resident suffered from any violent actions. The ministry noted that all Russian units completely left Bucha on March 30, and exits from the city in the northern direction were not blocked, while the southern outskirts, including residential areas, were shelled by Ukrainian troops around the clock from large-caliber artillery, tanks and multiple launch rocket systems. 
Deputy: Do not discuss staged shootings from Bucha as realBucha Mayor Anatoly Fedoruk confirmed in his video message on March 31 that there were no Russian military in the city, but did not mention any local residents shot in the streets with their hands tied. Therefore, it is not surprising that all the so-called «evidence of crimes» in Bucha appeared only on the fourth day, when SBU officers and representatives of Ukrainian television arrived in the city, the Russian Defense Ministry noted. The White Helmets organization, which received wide popularity and support in the West, declared aims to save the civilian population in the war zones, but is accused by the Syrian authorities of having links with extremists and conducting hostile propaganda activities. The Russian Foreign Ministry called the activities of the White Helmets an element of an information campaign to slander the Syrian authorities and, in particular, blamed them for a provocation that gave the West reason to accuse Damascus of using chemical weapons and strike at government troops. Russia launched a military operation on Ukraine February 24. President Vladimir Putin called its goal «the protection of people who have been subjected to bullying and genocide by the Kiev regime for eight years.» For this, according to him, it is planned to carry out «demilitarization and denazification of Ukraine», to bring to justice all war criminals responsible for «bloody crimes against civilians» in Donbass. According to the Russian Ministry of Defense, the Armed Forces strike only at the military infrastructure and Ukrainian troops and, as of March 25, they have completed the main tasks of the first stage — they have significantly reduced the combat potential of Ukraine. The main goal in the Russian military department was called the liberation of Donbass.
