On April 3, after the withdrawal of Russian troops from Kiev, the Ukrainian side released a series of photos of civilian deaths in the town of Bucha around Kiev, and also accused Russia of committing "genocide"!

At this release, Western countries, especially the United States, France, and Japan, jumped out and righteously condemned it, and said that a new round of sanctions would be imposed on Russia.
EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Borrell also said: "The EU will continue to strongly support Ukraine and will urgently consider the issue of imposing additional sanctions on Russia." ”
As for the allegations made by the Ukrainian side, the Russian side denies it.
The Russian side feels that this is completely a "provocation"! They believe that all the accusations and photos and videos released by the Ukrainian side are forged, and the Ukrainian side just wants to sabotage peace negotiations and provoke public anger!
First, let's take a look at this timeline.
On 30 March, the last russian troops were all withdrawn.
On 31 March, the mayor of Bucha declared liberation, but did not mention anything about the Bucha massacre, civilian casualties.
On April 1, Ukrainian officials announced that a special clearance operation was underway against Russian troops and saboteurs "disguised as civilians."
On 2 April, the Ukrainian army regained control of the Bucha area.
On April 3, the Ukrainian side released videos and photos.
Let's take a look at the doubts.
The first doubt is, if it is really done by the Russian side, why do they still distribute 452 tons of relief materials to the citizens of Kiev Oblast?
The second question is why Mayor Bucha never mentioned the incident of civilian casualties when announcing the withdrawal of Russian troops.
The third suspicious point is that Ukrainian officials said that they would carry out a clearance operation, what exactly did they do? Who was purged?
The fourth point of suspicion, when Russia submitted evidence to the UN Security Council, proposed to convene a meeting on the matter, but was rejected by the rotating british presidency. Why did the Council refuse to convene a meeting on such a serious incident?
The fifth question is why the EU sent a team of inquiries to investigate instead of the United Nations. How much credibility do the EU's findings have? Is it inclined to NATO?
If it is really done by the Russian side, then the satellites in the sky monitor every day, eager to stare at it 24 hours a day, looking forward to revealing something to fight the Russian army. Why did it take several days for Russia to be evacuated before this matter was revealed?
Moreover, the rations distributed by the Russian side can also be seen next to the civilian victims. If it is a Russian army, is it necessary to waste food?
On the 4th, when President Zelenskiy visited Bucha, he was in tears in front of the Western media.
"It's hard to say, and when you see what they're doing here, it's hard to keep the negotiations going," he said. ”
How true or false these tears are, only he knows it, after all, the result has not yet come out.
Whether the truth is as alleged by the Ukrainian side cannot be determined.
