MOSCOW, April 5. /TASS/. It should not be ruled out that more fakes about the Russian army in Ukraine, like the one filmed in Bucha, may emerge. Moscow will continue to painstakingly expose such falsehoods and separate them from the truth, Russian presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov told the media on Tuesday.
"Everybody has heard the Defense Ministry officials’ warnings that more fake videos, similar to the one made in Bucha, are likely. This cannot be ruled out. Each time we will be painstakingly explaining what is true and what is false," Peskov said.
Situation in Bucha
The Russian Defense Ministry on April 3 dismissed the Kiev regime’s charges its forces had allegedly killed civilians in the community of Bucha, the Kiev Region. The ministry recalled that Russian forces left Bucha on March 30, while faked evidence of alleged killings was presented four days later, when Ukrainian security service SBU agents arrived in the locality. The Russian Defense Ministry also said that on March 31 Bucha’s Mayor Anatoly Fedoruk said in a video address that there were no Russian soldiers in the community. Nor did he mention any locals allegedly shot on the streets. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov dismissed the Bucha incident as a "fake attack."
Russia’s ambassador to the UN, Vasily Nebenzya, on Monday held an urgent news conference after the current UN Security Council’s president, Britain, twice during one day rejected Russia’s requests for an urgent session on Bucha. At the news conference Russian diplomats presented videos from Bucha which the Ukrainian forces shot immediately after the Russian army left the community: no bodies were seen on the streets. The Ukrainian military personnel and the city’s mayor looked cheerful and asserted their "victory", but mentioned no killings.
