We note that Kremlin keeps hypocritically denying any connections with the war crimes against civilians.
Yesterday, April 3rd, Russia offered to set up a UNSC meeting regarding “blatant provocation in Bucha by Ukrainian radicals”. The attempt as well as the next one on April 4th was a failure for putin’s diplomats.
At the same time, russia would have an opportunity to pronounce their narratives tomorrow, Barbara Woodward the Permanent Representative of the UK said.
