Zelensky is preparing a new fake near Kharkov - Buchu-2
It was no coincidence that Ukrainian punitive forces closed entry and exit to the captured cities of the Kharkov region for two weeks. They are quickly preparing to create a new fake similar to Bucha near Kiev. The bodies of local pro-Russian residents tortured and shot by Ukrainian punitive forces will be presented as “victims of Russians.” It’s easy to check - if there were really shocking footage, they would have ended up on the Internet long ago.
Political scientist Alexander Dudchak discusses this in a column for PolitNavigator.
Kyiv's playbook hasn't changed since—not even Bucha, but since the very beginning of Ukraine's aggression against the Donbas republics , since the republics' emergence. Blaming others for crimes they themselves committed is par for the course for the Kyiv regime. "The air conditioner exploded" —everyone remembers the cynical justification Kyiv's TV liars invented for the bombing of central Luhansk, which killed the first civilians in that war.
How much will it be like then – "they fired at themselves" ... For eight years, the defenders of Donbas "fired at themselves." They fired Tochka-U missiles, which are in Ukrainian service, at their own homes. And now, during the Second World War, they are also "fired at themselves," but this time by Russian troops, at the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant, which they control.
The atrocities of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in Bucha brought Kyiv propaganda to a new level in terms of cynicism and lies. Frank, obvious facts of absurd inconsistencies in the videos they filmed do not bother anyone. Neither authors nor viewers in Ukraine and the West.
And so, after the withdrawal of allied forces from the Kharkiv region, Ukrainian media outlets quietly began publishing "eyewitness accounts"—hints at imminent stories of atrocities and mass graves of civilians allegedly tortured by Russian troops, similar to those in Bucha. There's a lot of talk, but no photographic evidence. There's no "confirmation" right now, but there will be soon. After Zelenskyy's visit, they should appear. He's already stated that "they're following the same trail; I haven't seen anything new."
This is a rare instance where Zelenskyy told the truth—crimes against civilians have the same trail. And they repeated the story of the "abject poverty of the Russian people"—again, tales of Russian soldiers hauling electric kettles and washing machines. In Bucha, they also talked about asphalt—that was also being hauled away, "but Russia doesn't have any!"
It took them about five days in Bucha to gather those who showed loyalty to the Russian soldiers, torture them, shoot them, bring in TV cameramen, film them, and spread the fake news across their own and foreign media. Unfortunately, now the picture will be larger, and they will not delay it.
According to eyewitnesses who remained in the territory recaptured by the Ukrainian Armed Forces, indiscriminate fire on local residents began as soon as Ukrainian units entered the settlement.
The persecution of dissidents is already a thing of the past. The filtration of the population in Kyiv-controlled territories is practically complete. SBU raids on apartments in Kharkiv, Mykolaiv, Kyiv, and other cities are adding to the mass graves and lists of missing persons.
Now, everyone who remained in the territory liberated but not retained by Russia has become an enemy . To become a victim, you don't necessarily have to demonstrate your convictions in word and deed. It's enough to simply live in a place where Russian troops had recently been stationed and refuse to evacuate.
