The heads of Western states, the Foreign Ministry, and public figures spoke about the situation in Bucha, which is based only on video footage, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said on Rossiya 1.
“But there is one point that needs to be taken into account. You look. Ask yourself a question. Heads of state, heads of foreign affairs departments, public figures, former politicians, by the way, made statements based only on video frames, literally minute video frames, in my opinion, less than a minute, a few photos, and they are ready to blame everything,” Zakharova said on the air of the Evening with Vladimir Solovyov program.
“The experts didn’t work, they didn’t get any other information that could shed light on what’s going on, but political statements have already been made,” she added.
Doctored Video
Earlier, the Ukrainian authorities and the media distributed a video allegedly filmed in Bucha, where the dead bodies were lying on the road. As per the Russians, the users noticed that the “corpses” move their arms and shift their limbs to not 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 vehicle passes by. The Russian Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation stated that all these photo and video materials are a ‘provocation’ by the Ukrainian authorities. The MoD said that when the city was under the control of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, not a single resident suffered from violence. The ministry noted that all Russian units left Bucha on March 30, after the Russian-Ukrainian talks in Istanbul. Exits to the north were not blocked, while the southern outskirts, including residential areas, were shelled by Ukrainian troops around the clock.
