MOSCOW, April 9. /TASS/. The Ukrainian Security Service (SBU) plans to film a staged video showing the killing of Russian troops allegedly arriving in the city of Irpen "to kill the witnesses of Russia’s war crimes," Russian Defense Ministry Spokesman Major General Igor Konashenkov said on Saturday.

"SBU officers plan to bring the bodies of locals killed in Ukrainian shelling from the morgue of a hospital located on Polevaya Street to the basement of a building on the eastern outskirts of Irpen. The SBU then plans to carry out a staged activity in the Pushcha-Voditsa forest, which would involve firing and "the killing" of a "Russian reconnaissance group" that allegedly arrived in Irpen "to kill the witnesses of Russia’s war crimes," he pointed out.

According to Konashenkov, the bodies of Russian prisoners of war killed by Ukrainian nationalists earlier will be presented as "incontrovertible evidence." "The goal of this cynical staged activity is to spread videos through Western media outlets," the general added.
