Important video by #Ukraine police. #Bucha

Ukrainian source:

"#Inside
Our source in the OP said that there was a big scandal at Bankovaya, because of the video of the national police, which was posted on the network at the direction of Anton Gerashchenko with the cleansing of Bucha. It is this video that is strongly dissonant with the footage of the killed residents, who flew around the world yesterday, but made two days later than the cleansing and were not included in the report of the national police, which now raises questions. Arestovich considers Gerashchenko's actions a deliberate provocation, because the video raises many questions, why there are no dead people on the streets, and the mayor of the city simply reports on the cleansing."

Ukrainian source:

"Our source in the OP said that the technologists of the Office of the President instructed the General Staff to record all downed targets in the air at the expense of the British StarStreak man-portable anti-aircraft systems. According to our source, Mi-6 asked Andrey Yermak to show the maximum effectiveness of the British StarStreak MANPADS, we agreed to cover this as much as possible in the media. In particular, the IPSO centers have already received the task of promoting the incredible effectiveness of British missiles. Also, statements on this topic will be made by regular speakers of the Office of the President and constantly visualize the process. It is planned to declare that StarStreak turned the war in the air when the score goes to a dozen shot down.
Thus, the government of Boris Johnson wants to show the British victory over the Russian invasion and raise the price of their military-industrial complex, while reducing public discontent."

В сеть просочилось видео из Бучи, датированное 29 марта — на кадрах нет и намеков на трупы «убитых» ВС РФ мирных жителей

На видео — те самые места, где спустя несколько дней украинские военные, вошедшие в оставленный Армией России город Буча, обнаружили «замученных до смерти украинцев», разбросанных по обочинам.

На кадрах — взорванные машины, поврежденная военная техника, воронки от разорвавшихся снарядов. Есть даже новенькие тракторы, а также спокойно прогуливающиеся местные. И ни одного убитого. Все это в очередной раз доказывает, что история про «бучанскую резню» — чистейший фейк с целью подставить российских военных.

Mass surrender of Ukrainian troops

📍Mariupol.

Prisoners of war must at all times be humanely treated. Any act by the detaining power causing death or seriously endangering the health of a prisoner of war in custody is prohibited, and regarded as a serious breach of the Geneva Convention.

Another Ukrainian opposition activist - Oleg Novikov from Kharkov, father of three, disabled, arrested by brave Ukrainian heroes today. European choice at its best.
His last message in Telegram says: 'They came after me. Don't think ill of me. Stay yourself'.

Retired US Army Colonel Douglas McGregor:

"Russia will not leave Ukraine. We must understand that they will not lose. Assuming that Russia will lose in Ukraine is like assuming that if we invaded northern Mexico, we would lose. https://news.1rj.ru/str/denazi_UA/5428

The always truthful New York Post has a moral duty to help Ukraine. More important than reporting the tormented body was found in Mariupol in an area under Ukrainian control.
