Russian president Vladimir Putin met on Tuesday with Belarusian president Alexander Lukashenko. Lukashenko, who spoke with Putin in the eastern Russian city of Blagoveshchensk, said he believes Belarus’ branding as “an accomplice of the aggressor” is unfair. Minsk, which is providing logistical support to the Russian military and served as a key staging point for Russian forces in the opening stages of the invasion of Ukraine, has fallen under many of the same Western sanctions as Moscow since the start of the war on February 24.
Lukashenko characterized the war as a “dangerous moment,” explicitly blaming Britain and the United States for the military tensions roiling Eastern Europe. The Belarusian leader referred to the Bucha massacre as a “special British operation,” cryptically adding that the Russian Federal Security Service (FSB) could provide further information. Lukashenko did not immediately offer additional details or provide proof supporting the allegation that London was somehow involved in the Bucha incident. Putin referred to the alleged war crimes in Bucha as “fake” in a televised news conference following his meeting with Lukashenko, comparing them to what he described as atrocities staged by the West in Syria that were subsequently attributed to President Bashar al-Assad.
Putin doubled down on the Russian war effort in the same conference, insisting that the campaign in Ukraine is going “according to plan.” Putin said that ongoing peace talks with Ukraine, which appeared to sputter shortly on the heels of the Bucha revelations, are “at a dead end,” adding that “the military operation will continue until its final completion and the tasks that were set at the start of the operation are achieved.” The Russian leader said military conflict with Ukraine was inevitable, pointing to what he characterized as Ukraine’s increasingly aggressive anti-Russian posture.
Belarus changed its constitution last month to allow Russia to permanently station troops and weapons in the country. The change is the latest indication of deepening defense ties between Minsk and Moscow. Experts saw signs in early March that Lukashenko was laying the groundwork to justify Belarusian intervention in Ukraine. But Belarusian troops have not yet joined in on Russia’s invasion, defying the widespread expectations of Western defense officials and exiled Belarusian opposition figures.
The Kremlin’s decision to vacate the Kyiv region to focus on consolidating Russian control in Ukraine’s east may have postponed Belarus’ entry into the war. At least for now, Russia no longer has a northern theater, thus removing the only front in which Belarusian ground forces can play a meaningful battlefield role.
They’re trying to advance a narrative that the Ukrainians aren’t the ones fighting them, that it’s all American and British special forces.
I doubt we did it
It’s impossible to tell
They need to prove they didn’t do it.
Satellites....the eye in the sky has everything. We all really know....
Putin, Lukashenko and the Kremlin plants on FR.
It’s hard to prove a negative, especially when Russia’s immediate request for a neutral UN investigation was blocked. That was when the timing of deaths could have easily been discovered. Why the F’n hell was that???
And with all these satellites over Ukraine, nobody could tell exactly where that Ukrainian missile came from that hit the train station? Bullsh$t.
The whole West is being played again, only this time the cost could be Mad Max living. I really wish people would wake up.
There is conflicting photographic evidence on the internet.
First, a photo of a Bucha resident fleeing in terror from British special forces troops (including, apparently, one of the 'royals'):

Next, a photo of a Bucha resident fleeing in terror from Ukrainian Neo-Nazi troops (including one really big guy dressed just like Hitler):

Hard to know what to believe!
(\sarc ;>)
The eye in the sky has video with night vision optics of everything. Tanks, troop movements, false flags...everything is there for the world to see.

Its because you're lying. Russians didn't ask for a neutral UN investigation, but did make a request to hold a meeting to discuss the events in Ukraine’s Bucha. Even Russian Tass admits that.
The UK flagrantly violated the UN Security Council procedure by rejecting Russia’s request to hold a meeting on the events in Ukraine’s Bucha, First Deputy Representative of Russia to the UN Dmitry Polyansky said in his Telegram channel.

You can’t prove a negative.
Bodies in Bucha have been seen by reporters from around the world.
Anything is possible.
What ever it is or isn’t, the event did not give traction.
NATO and Nazis the the Russian narrative.
French forensic experts in Bucha to help Ukraine investigate possible war crimes

Sure, but when the forensic evidence and the locals all tell you the same story, Russians did the killings, its kind of crazy to start blaming the British.
