The Russian delegation will be headed by Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov

MOSCOW, September 17. /TASS/. A Russian delegation headed by Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov will present a report on the provocation in Bucha at the UN General Assembly, Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said on Thursday.

"I should say right away that the UN General Assembly, whose political week is just beginning, and which will be attended by the Russian delegation, headed by Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, will be the platform where this report will be presented most prominently," Zakharova said at a news conference hosted by TASS on the presentation of a report by the International Public Tribunal on the Crimes of Ukrainian Neo-Nazis, which has exposed the falsification of events in Bucha.

"And not just once, not just over these few days, but on an ongoing basis. We will seize every opportunity for this," she added.

Bucha provocation

On March 30, 2022, Russia, as a sign of goodwill amid negotiations with Ukraine in Istanbul, withdrew from the area around Kiev, including from the town of Bucha. On March 31, this was confirmed on camera by the head of the local administration. A few days later, Western television broadcast footage showing - in contrast to an earlier recording - that the bodies of people who had allegedly been murdered were lying in the streets. In Russia, a criminal case was opened over the provocation involving the spread of deliberately false information about the Russian Armed Forces.
