People were free to move around the city and use mobile phones, Vasily Nebenzya also noted

UNITED NATIONS, April 5. /TASS/. Russia’s envoy to the UN Vasily Nebenzya on Tuesday said no civilians were hurt in Ukraine’s Bucha while Russian troops were stationed there.

"All units of the Russian armed forces completely withdrew from Bucha, as a goodwill gesture, on March 30, the day after the in-person round of talks between Russia and Ukraine in Turkey," he said at a UN Security Council meeting. "Not a single civilian suffered any violent attacks while the city was under the control of Russian troops."

"People were free to move around the city and use mobile phones," the diplomat continued. "Exits from the city weren’t blocked."
