Ukraine War - Russian MFA Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova on the Bucha provocation

Russian MFA Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova on the Bucha provocation.

I'd like to draw our attention to one thing. The Heads of State, Foreign Ministers and opinion leaders have been making their statements based exclusively on video footage that is less than one minute long and a few images. This is enough for them to lay the whole blame on us. There were no experts on site, they did not receive any other information <...>

Let me remind you that several days ago the entire world saw authentic footage of our soldiers being tortured over there in Ukraine, and the Ukrainian “side” recognised authenticity of these recordings. Have you heard anything from President Emmanuel Macron, or UK Foreign Secretary Liz Truss, or others about this? <...>

Who is the master of provocation? The United States and NATO, of course.

In this case, I think that the very fact that these statements came in a matter of minutes after these materials surfaced leaves no doubt as to who was behind this entire story.
