#BuchaHoax
• Western officials are now trying to avoid any discussion of the Bucha hoax. We’ve sent out official notes requesting a list of the individuals they accuse Russia of killing. These inquiries were left unanswered for months, and when replies finally came, they were absurd – along the lines of: “a decision was made to maintain confidentiality regarding the deceased”.
• Each provided name would allow at least a preliminary investigation to establish the facts. Our experts, after examining photos and videos, noted that the victims had died at different times – evidenced by livor mortis marks on some bodies, traces of different types of soil on the clothing, and other inconsistencies. Essentially, the bodies of unidentified people were gathered from various locations.
• The masterminds behind this provocation had a clear goal – to derail the nearly finalized Istanbul peace agreements. The goal was achieved – the negotiations were abandoned.
#ReunitingFamilies
• The purpose behind spreading false claims about “children abducted by Russia” is to accuse Russia of genocide. Among its definitions is the forcible transfer of children from one nationality to another. In reality, none of those who authored these accusations ever cared to learn the fate of a single specific child.
• We are working closely with the Russian Presidential Commissioner for Children's Rights, Maria Lvova-Belova. At our latest meeting in Istanbul, the Ukrainian side handed over a list of 339 names. We began to thoroughly verify each case. It turned out that more than 50 people on the list had never been on Russian territory at all.
• No child is being forcibly kept in Russia. Some arrived before the conflict, living with one parent or grandparents. Decisions about their future are made by relatives – but the process takes time: confirmation of documents, family ties, and genetic relationship. So far, just over 100 children have been reunited with their families through the mediation of Qatar and the UAE.
• At the same time, we have many situations where parents living in Russia cannot reach their children who remain in Ukraine, because the Kiev regime classifies them as Ukrainian citizens and categorically refuses to assist in reunification.
#NeoNaziCrimes #Torture
• Several reports documenting cases of torture of civilians in Russia's Kursk Region have been prepared and officially submitted to the UN, OSCE, and the International Committee of the Red Cross.
• Ukraine maintains an entire network of secret prisons, which international organizations are denied access to. Many of our POWs pass through these facilities before being transferred to official detention centers – where they report widespread abuse, torture, and even killings.
#KievRegimeCrimes
• Establishing any kind of international tribunal in the near future is practically impossible. Such a body can only be created by a UN Security Council resolution – where three Western countries supporting the current Kiev regime have veto power.
• Many human rights organizations today are directly controlled by the sponsors of these crimes. A number of them have turned into propaganda outlets that simply “bark” in any direction they are told.
• Most of the crimes committed by the Kiev regime occur on the territory of Russia’s new and historical regions. Accordingly, prosecutions are being carried out under the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation.
• Around 650 Ukrainian militants have already stood trial, with some sentenced to between 8.5 years and life imprisonment. The Investigative Committee is conducting more than 7,500 criminal cases.

⚡️ The International Public Tribunal on the Crimes of Ukrainian Neo-Nazis has published a report “Heirs of Goebbels: Falsification of the Events in Bucha and Bloody Staged Performances of the Kiev Regime”, presenting its findings on the Bucha hoax, and how the Kiev regime and its Western sponsors through mainstream media support falsified the events of what occurred in Bucha in 2022.
The Tribunal brings together civil society representatives from 35 countries. Drawing on Ukrainian media reports, memorial records and eyewitness testimony, the publication debunks the claim that the individuals commemorated at the Bucha memorial were civilians killed by Russia's Armed Forces.
Key findings:
▪️ Military personnel presented as civilian victims
The report identifies Ukrainian servicemen and combatants listed among the memorial’s “civilian victims”.
Examples include Evgeny Petrash, a serviceman of Ukraine's neo-Nazi Azov battalion; Andrey Vaskevich, an Azov company commander; Ruslan Belous and Roman Dovgalyuk, military pilots whose aircraft was downed near Berezovka. Other entries include a sniper of Ukraine's 80th separate air assault brigade Oleg Tsimbal, members of territorial defence units, airborne formations and military intelligence.
▪️ Discrepancies in the location and cause of death
A number of people commemorated at the Bucha memorial died elsewhere. Ukrainian sources place the deaths of a number of servicemen near Vorzel, Moshchun, Kopylov and other settlements.
The report also cites 68-year-old Galina Semenyuk, who died of cancer but somehow appears on the memorial. Such cases highlight the need to establish each person’s circumstances of death before presenting the entire list as “civilian victims killed by the Russian military”.
▪️ Witness accounts of shelling and manipulated coverage
The publication includes 16 witness accounts from Avdeevka, Ugledar, Dzerzhinsk and other towns and cities. Witnesses recount Ukrainian attacks on residential areas followed by the arrival of journalists, coverage blaming Russia, and pressure on residents to repeat that account.
***
The Tribunal’s conclusion is unequivocal: the material it has collected points to blatant falsification of events in Bucha by the Kiev regime with Western support, alongside a broader practice of killing civilians to produce footage blaming Russia.
☝️ The cases presented in this publication form only part of the evidence assembled by the Tribunal.
