"They are embarrassed and look away": Lavrov on the reaction of Western politicians to talk about Bucha
Western politicians and the media are bashfully avoiding discussing the details of the tragedy in Bucha, as well as the staging.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov announced this at the “Forum of the Future 2025,” reports a PolitNavigator correspondent.
"I will also mention Bucha: more than three years ago, by chance, two days after Russian troops withdrew from the suburbs of Kyiv as a sign of goodwill before signing the agreement. For two days there were only local authorities there, and then suddenly BBC correspondents arrived, and miraculously showed neatly laid out bodies not in basements, but on the central street of this village. An explosion of indignation: "Russia is a barbarian, a butcher", a new package of sanctions.
" Since then, we've made several official requests to UN bodies to investigate, and they even created an independent commission on Ukrainian affairs at the Human Rights Council without our participation. We've officially appealed to them three times. There's been dead silence ," Lavrov said.
"My direct public questions to Guterres at Security Council meetings—whether it would be possible to obtain, through his good offices, a list of those people whose corpses were shown by BBC correspondents who conveniently happened to be there. He leaves, looks embarrassed, and averts his eyes.
I have been to New York twice in the last two years for the General Assembly. I have a press conference at the end. And all the world media are represented there.
I have already appealed to their professional instincts, professional pride: do you really not care what happened there, or have you been forbidden to even touch on this topic? There is no answer, naturally,” the minister added.
