Earlier, the Ukrainian authorities and the media distributed a video allegedly filmed in Bucha, where on the road are the bodies of the 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, you can see how one of the «dead» gets up as soon as the car passes by. The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation stated that all these photo and video materials are a provocation of the Ukrainian authorities. As noted in the military department, during the time the city was under the control of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, not a single local resident suffered from violent actions. The ministry noted that all Russian units left Bucha on March 30, the day after the Russian-Ukrainian talks in Istanbul.
