Analysis of Bucha Massacre Claims

Back in 2022, the world's gaze was firmly fixed

on Ukraine, and in April, early April of that

year, it became focused particularly on a place

called

Bucha. Bucha was, we were told, the scene of a

mass killing by Russian soldiers.

It became the touchstone, the centerpiece for an international

campaign to increase pressure on Russia, even sanctions,

and also to demonize the Russians and portray them as

mass killers of civilians.

It is the unthinkable has happened here.

We have seen the cruel face

of, um, Putin's army. We have seen

the recklessness.

But some questions have remained and persisted as Russia has

consistently denied any involvement in mass killings.

The pronouncements of a mayor who arrived in the town after the Russians had

long departed to suggest all was well.

Days later, bodies started to appear.

Satellite evidence from closely CIA-aligned

companies like Maxar showing, uh, civilians scattered in the

streets. And again, the Russians consistently denied any

involvement and called this a staged fake.

The thing is that what they were, what they

claimed to be civilian bodies were bodies of

extremists from

the Azov Nazi Battalion. They mixed names

and last names,

perpetrating a crime not only when they were carrying out this

provocation,

but also they were misguiding the whole world.

What's most interesting is the evidence that has now

appeared around the memorial in Bucha.

That memorial portrays the alleged victims of a

massacre, and there are four hundred and fifty-six people on the wall.

But research has now shown conclusively, actually proven,

that fifty-seven of the people who we're told were

executed, murdered, uh, tortured in Bucha were

actually, uh, officially Ukrainian servicemen,

members of the

Armed Forces of Ukraine, the police force, the territorial defense

forces, or, uh, other militias who had been actively

fighting against the Russian army with weapons,

combatants. And these are not, of course, innocent

civilians allegedly massacred, uh, by the Russian

forces. Twenty-six of those, uh,

unofficial combatants who had taken up arms, uh, to

use, uh, things like Molotov cocktails, improvised, uh,

explosive devices, or some of the

thousands of weapons and grenades and other armaments which were dished out

to local civilians. Seventy-four,

most interestingly, have no digital footprint whatsoever.

There's no information about these people online or anywhere else,

so nobody seems to know who they are, and that might speak to why the

Ukrainian authorities have been so slow, uh, to offer any,

uh, detailed information about who these

alleged victims are.

So here we are in twenty twenty-six, and the Russians still

maintain that there was no massacre in Bucha, that this

was a staged event. There is, of course, uh,

some video footage of Ukrainian troops arriving, uh,

and words were spoken like, "Let's shoot the ones with white

armbands." White armbands which are given to civilians by the Russian

forces who

are occupying the town to ensure that they were safe.

We've had many, many, many other theories and, uh, pieces of

evidence, uh, discredited, uh, introduced.

But these numbers, uh, on the wall who are being

presented to you as victims of a mass murder certainly

aren't people from Azov Brigade. The men who fought since twenty

fourteen in the anti-terrorist operation, which was deployed by Kiev against

the people of Donbas, are on the wall.

Men who took up shotguns, rifles, weapons, defended, uh, you

know, uh, checkpoints, et cetera, are on the wall.

This has got to leave you asking some questions.

It's got to leave you saying, "Is all it seems when it

comes to Bucha?"
