Moscow insists the incident was staged by Kiev to accuse Russian military of war crimes.
Moscow will convene an extraordinary meeting of the UN Security Council over the incident in the Ukrainian town of Bucha, Russia’s deputy permanent representative with the organization, Dmitry Polyansky said Sunday. Ukraine has accused Russia of massacring civilians in the town, while Moscow dismissed the incident as staged by the Kiev forces.
“In light of the blatant provocation by Ukrainian radicals in Bucha, Russia has demanded a meeting of the UN Security Council to be convened on Monday, April 4. We will bring to light the presumptuous Ukrainian provocateurs and their Western patrons,” Polyansky said in a Telegram post.
Graphic footage from Bucha, a town to the northwest of Kiev, emerged over the weekend, showing multiple bodies clad in civilian clothing scattered around. Kiev was quick to blame Russian military for the incident, with Ukrainian foreign minister Dmytro Kuleba alleging it was a “deliberate massacre”.
“The Bucha massacre was deliberate. Russians aim to eliminate as many Ukrainians as they can. We must stop them and kick them out. I demand new, devastating G7 sanctions NOW,” Kuleba said on Twitter.
Top Western politicians were quick to back and amplify Kiev’s claims, with NATO chief Jens Stoltenberg branding the incident “a brutality against civilians we haven’t seen in Europe for decades.”
“And it’s horrific, and it’s absolutely unacceptable that civilians are targeted and killed, and it just underlines the importance of, that this war must end. And that is President Putin’s responsibility, to stop the war,” Stoltenberg told CNN.
Similar stance has been voiced by many other officials, with some explicitly pinning the blame for the ‘massacre’ on Moscow. French President Emmanuel Macron said, for instance, that “Russian authorities will have to answer for these crimes”.
Moscow, however, has firmly rejected any involvement, accusing Kiev of staging the whole affair to frame Russian troops. The country’s Defense Ministry said that Russian troops pulled out of the town on March 30, with local mayor confirming it in a video address a day after without mentioning “any local residents laying shot in the streets.” The purported “evidence” of the incident emerged only four days after the withdrawal, when Ukrainian intelligence and “representatives of Ukrainian television arrived in the town,” the military added, stressing that multiple inconsistencies show that the affair “has been staged by the Kiev regime for Western media.”
Moscow launched a large-scale offensive against Ukraine in late February, following Ukraine’s failure to implement the terms of the Minsk agreements signed in 2014, and Russia’s eventual recognition of the Donbass republics in Donetsk and Lugansk. The German- and French-brokered protocols had been designed to regularize the status of those regions within the Ukrainian state.
Russia has now demanded that Ukraine officially declare itself a neutral country that will never join the US-led NATO bloc. Kiev insists the Russian offensive was completely unprovoked and has denied claims it was planning to retake the two rebel regions by force.
Jen Saki is leaving and our Cindy is trying to replace her and wants the job https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ONMwlQ4XYg8
This shows either our politicians are puppets of the deep state or just watch the main stream media to form policies. Where was Cindy when 14,000 Donbas residents were killed and a genocide took place in the last 8 years?
Byedone is on the way out soon because the laptop from hell entered into the official Congressional Record. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=wsCKJHa7b6g The corrupt family link will be exposed soon because the Big Corps started giving up on Byedone.
Yeah Cindy’s narrative is just propaganda. All international courts are another form of mass propaganda. Malaysia has its own too!
There is no crime of aggression in English law under which Tony Blair could be charged

In Kuala Lumpur, after two years of investigation by the Kuala Lumpur War Crimes Commission (KLWCC), a tribunal (the Kuala Lumpur War Crimes Tribunal, or KLWCT) consisting of five judges with judicial and academic backgrounds reached a unanimous verdict that found George W Bush and Tony Blair guilty of crimes against peace, crimes against humanity, and genocide as a result of their roles in the Iraq War.

Why UK blocked Russia who is wanting this matter to be discussed in UN security council? British PF companies are the main manufacturer of weapons of propganda in this hybrid warfare. They are also closely connected with UK election consulting. So it is not a big surprise why the clown Boris and other British media, in particular, are becoming the centre of lies. It also puts less pressure on the Bidens because of the laptop and other issues.
The NZ govt and MSM and much of the western world have turned into a den of vipers, the empire of lies. The truth always comes out and I have no doubt it will in this case. Putin has constantly said the same thing, stop NATO expansion like you said you would. Stop putting your missile systems on my back porch. Most people in the west dont even understand that the US have had strong NAZI links with the Ukraine going back to the end of WW2 and even before that. the US sponsored the coup that ousted a democratically elected leader so they could put their puppet nazi’s in power. To think the West supports a bunch of neo nazis to take power in the Ukraine. My grandfather who fought the Nazis in North Africa and Italy would be turning in his grave. Where are the western nations going, in what direction are they taking us, me, you, our children??
Wake up NZ!
