International outrage: Russian officials — President Vladimir Putin’s spokesman Dmitry Peskov and Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov — have repeatedly claimed that the videos and satellite images showing bodies in Bucha are fake.
This drone video is the first evidence to emerge from Bucha showing Russian vehicles and troops operating on the street, where the bodies were found by Ukrainian troops when they recaptured the city on April 1.
The images that emerged from Bucha after the Russian troops withdrew have sparked outrage among the international community. It also prompted some leaders, including US President Joe Biden and French President Emmanuel Macron, to call the atrocities that took place in Bucha war crimes.
