Russia rejected any involvement of its military in Bucha, and described the images released as a “montage”as expressed by the Foreign Minister, Sergei Lavrov. “Our troops withdrew definitively on March 30, and the next day, the mayor of Bucha said that everything was in order. Later, we saw how the assembly was organized in the streets for anti-Russian purposes.”
However, the satellite images it broadcasts ‘New York Times‘ which were taken last March and in which the mortal remains of Ukrainian civilians appear in the streets of Bucha, refute claim that war crimes were committed in this locality, and dismantle the theory of Russia. In statements to the aforementioned media, a woman confirmed the case of a mass grave that was opened on March 10 next to the church of San Andrés and Pyervozvannoho.
According to the Maxar Technology video, some of those bodies were already there on March 11, on Jablonska Street, in the same position as they appeared in the April 2 images. The causes of the deaths are unclear.
Zelensky visits Bucha
The horror of the war in Ukraine initiated by the Russian Army has been verified in the images that arrive from different parts of the country, such as the current state of Mariupoland also in the town of Buchawhere were found mortal remains of Ukrainian civilianstortured and executed by Russian troops.
Bucha’s images have gone around the world, and were condemned by the vast majority of international leaders of all countries. The President of Ukraine, Volodímir Zelenski, has visited the city that was recovered last week by the Ukrainian troops, after the withdrawal of the Russians. According to data provided by the Ukrainian Prosecutor General, more than 400 bodies have been found of Ukrainian civilians in this city near kyiv.
Zelensky described these events as “war crimes” in statements made to the media. “They will be recognized as a genocide. You see what happens every day. Thousands of soldiers killed and tortured. They intend to destroy an entire nation and its people,” said the president, who has asked the West bring Russia and Russian soldiers to international justice for these facts.
Another of the international leaders who has been forceful in his condemnation of the events that occurred in Bucha has been Joe Biden. The President of the United States spoke in similar terms to those of his Ukrainian counterpart, and detailed the reason why he described the leader of the Russian Executive as a “war criminal” weeks ago. “You may remember that I was criticized for calling Putin that, but we have seen what has happened in Bucha. this guy is brutal. What has happened is outrageous.”
Several European countries joined this demand to investigate Bucha’s “war crimes”. Spain thus joined France, Italy, Germany and the United Kingdom. The president of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, expressed that “they cannot go unpunished”while the Minister for Foreign Affairs, José Manuel Albares, showed his “solidarity with the victims of barbarism” produced in Bucha.
Biden announces more sanctions for Russia
On the other hand, Joe Biden announced more sanctions for Russia, which will be added to those applied, such as the disconnection of the SWIFT system, the freezing of the financial assets of the Russian oligarchs, or the veto on gas and oil imports imported by Moscow. Sanctions that have also been confirmed by the high representative of the European Union, Joseph Borrell.
The US president also guaranteed the shipment of ammunition and weapons to Ukraine. The American ambassador to the UN, Linda Thomas-Greenfield has reported that the White House will seek the suspension of Russia as a member of the UN Human Rights Council. For this, it is necessary that two thirds of the United Nations General Assembly support said proposal, that is, more than half of the 193 countries that are part of it.
