RTE news broadcast disturbing news footage of dead bodies on the streets of Bucka, north of Kyiv
The RTE footage showed what looked like mass graves and bodies with hands tied behind their backs. The body coins is claimed to have totalled 300.
However, Moscow claims accusations of a Bucha massacre by Russian forces are fake news.
The Russian military has firmly denied accusations of mass killings of civilians in Bucha.
The claims have been made by Ukraine officials, some Western media outlets and human rights groups, after Moscow had withdrawn its troops from the outskirts of Ukraine’s capital.
According to RT.com, the Russian news agency that has been censored around the world, Russian troops had been pulled out from Bucha on March 30, the military said, pointing out that “the so-called ‘evidence of crimes’ in Bucha appeared only on the fourth day” after the withdrawal, when Ukrainian intelligence and “representatives of Ukrainian television arrived in the town.”
“Moreover, on March 31 the mayor of Bucha, Anatoly Fedoruk, confirmed in his video address that there was no Russian military in the town, but did not even mention any local residents laying shot in the streets with their hands tied,”the Russian military also pointed out.
The propaganda war between the West and Russia rages on.
