Russia’s defence ministry said Sunday its forces did not kill civilians in Bucha, a town outside Ukraine’s capital Kyiv recently retaken by Ukrainian forces from Moscow’s troops.
“During the time this settlement was under the control of Russian armed forces, not a single local resident suffered from any violent actions,” the ministry said.
Photo and video of corpses strewn across the streets of Bucha were “another production of the Kyiv regime for the Western media,” it added.
