Why the Buchan Massacre is a fake
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
by Alexander Kots

[KP] Ukraine is dispersing a new "crime against humanity". Entering the cities of the Kiev region, which the Russian troops left as part of the regrouping, the nationalists from the terbats suddenly found the streets littered with the corpses of civilians. Traces of torture, bound hands, scarlet blood - footage from the city of Bucha chills the soul.

Ukrainian propaganda paints a terrible picture of the "Russian occupation," under which real sadists bullied the locals. Here it is, Ukrainian Srebrenica. By analogy with the "massacre" of Bosnian Muslims in Yugoslavia, in which the Serbs were accused. Although their version, which was significantly inferior in scale to the official one, no one took into account.

Now I will explain why Srebrenica in Bucha is a lie. I will not analyze the position of bodies relative to the road and look for similarities of corpses in different locations. Many have already done this for me. There, the hands of the “corpses” move, and in the rear-view mirror, the “killed” are resurrected.

The tactics of video dramatizations ceased to amaze me even in Syria, where, based on the productions of the White Helmets, a decision was made to launch massive missile strikes. And here the teachers of information-psychological operations are the same - with brightly protruding British ears.

I'm talking about something else. I have been to cities like Bucha in the Kiev region. And under Bucha was. I saw how the attitude of the locals towards the Russian military was changing.

At first they were feared - the result of in-depth brainwashing on TV. Then the attitude was wary, when curiosity won, and people crawled out of the cellars. Then - business: the locals established a natural exchange with the military. For example, we changed gasoline for the generator for milk and cottage cheese. Moreover, we did not demand milk, giving fuel free of charge. But the neighbors considered it their duty to "pay back." The military gave dry rations, brought medicines ... And if they forced someone to go down to the basement, it was only for their own safety.

But this, of course, is not the main argument in favor of the fact that the Ukrainian "Srebrenica" is a fake. Russian troops did not completely control Buch for a single day during the month and a half. And the situation there was not conducive to "persistent" communication with the locals. Constant battles, shelling, head-on collisions - not before.

The truth is that Russian troops left Bucha as part of a regrouping a few days before the "victims of the occupation" were discovered. The Armed Forces of Ukraine did not immediately realize this and for almost three more days they covered the city with artillery, under which civilians could well have fallen.

And when they came to their senses, as usual, they began a "witch hunt" in search of those who, in their opinion, collaborated with the "occupation forces." In the fever of wartime, no one bothers to prove themselves, bodies thrown into the wells with their hands tied appear.

Only the condition of these bodies suggests that they were killed yesterday at the latest. I know what corpses look like after lying on the street for several days. Here is a completely different picture.

My arguments, of course, are unlikely to be considered by the President of the European Union, Charles Michel, who launches the hashtag "Buchan massacre" and announces new sanctions against Russia. Although it is not difficult to verify what I say. It is enough to conduct an examination that will indicate the time of death of the unfortunate.

And to correlate with the data of NATO objective control, which will clearly indicate the date of the withdrawal of Russian troops. But this is if you look for the truth. And who needs it in the West.

#1 Russia stooges now stink of desperation. Like their predecessors who worked for Goebbels.

Do they actually believe their own garbage? I imagine this was mainly for internal consumption in Russia to bolster the illusions built on lies - and one that Putin has used to play upon Russian cultural biases. Everyone is a N4zi, don't cha know.

Both sides are heavily pushing propaganda. I say treat all reports with skepticism until independent verification.

But the obvious lies are piling up on the Russian side. The previous war criminal acts of the 331 Regiment are well known by people who are paying attention, and they were at Bucha. Same goes for the Chechen animals the Russians employ. So accusations are plausible, and in the presence of evidence, are believable.

Given the Russian penchant historically for looting and pillaging, as well as rape and deliberate killing of civilians to incite terror (Grozny), these accusations are credible in the face of the satellite and photographic evidence coming to light.

In this case, independent and international news sources have verified many of these things that look like summary executions done by the KGB/GRU back in the day. Interrogated, beaten, then hands bound, one shot to the head.

Pravda, the irony is too much. It now has the same reputation for "truth" as to when it was a Soviet mouthpiece.

#3 Both sides are heavily pushing propaganda. I say treat all reports with skepticism until independent verification.

And a major reason why both sides are presented here.

Apparently, you've made up your mind. Bully for you!
