Satellite images which show dead bodies lining the streets of Bucha weeks ago appear to have debunked Russian claims that they were placed there after their troops left the Ukrainian commuter town.
Authorities in Ukraine said the bodies of at least 410 civilians have been found in areas outside of Kyiv - specifically in the town of Bucha - after last week's withdrawal of Russian troops.
Horrific images show many civilians with bound hands, close-range gunshot wounds and signs of torture. A growing number of world leaders have voiced outrage and called for tougher sanctions against Moscow.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov dismissed the accusations that Russian troops committed the atrocities as a 'staged provocation' but has yet to provide the 'empirical evidence' he says proves they are not responsible.
Meanwhile, the Russian Ministry of Defence issued a lengthy statement which said no civilians had suffered violence at the hands of Russian troops and that the images were staged.
.....
A second video depicted three more bodies which satellite images show appeared there between March 20 and 21, according to the Times, again - before Russia said they left the town.
Meanwhile, other Russian claims include that one body appears to move in a video taken from a moving car but this was later debunked by fact-checkers and proved to be a mark on the windshield in higher quality footage.
Russia's defence ministry added: 'It is of particular worry that all the bodies of the people whose images have been published by the Kiev regime are not stiffened after at least four days.'
But a forensic pathologist who has worked on war crime investigations told the BBC that after four days, the process of stiffening - known as rigor mortis - has usually subsided.

War sucks.
Widespread murder of civilians makes it worse.
If true, this evidence would put the Russians in a very bad light. They won’t survive the public relations disaster that will be coming.
Something snapped in Ras Putins brain. And it ain’t good.
And with all of those sparkling white cloths used to bind them? Uh huh.
What kind of sh**hole country leaves dead bodies in the street for weeks?
The one with foreign troops that shot you if you leave your house?
Sadly, that’s always part of war.
“Ras Putin”. Very good. 👍
It’s cringeworthy but also it tells a scary tale.
These kids have lost touch with their humanity. They’ve been made into savage animals by something. If we’re to think they haven’t been trained then they’ve either gone through traumatic and intense torture or they are just that unhinged.
If they are that unhinged then I also fear for the armies throughout the rest of the world... ours included.
Is this fighting generation completely lost so that they’ll follow these orders? Will our own troops turn their weapons on whoever they are told to?
Us?
I would be surprised if Russia did this. I’d distrust anything we are told and assume the opposite . Ukraine murdered their own civilians and staged it like Russia did it, Ukraine has already done this by placing civilians in danger by making them human shields. Let’s not forget the media told us Biden won the election.
Okee Dokey.
Kinda like Azov in Mariupol?
Have no idea if this is true or not but my initial reaction:
Usually soldiers clean up bodies as a health measure, to protect themselves, at least.
Plus it’s really really stupid to leave evidence of a major war crime lying around for that long. The leadership might be inclined to hide the evidence if the rank & file weren’t.

If those satellite images are legit (and they probably are), I’m thinking some local Russian commander lost his cool when a Ukrainian irregular killed one of his men. And so the town had to be taught a lesson.
It’s a very nazi thing to do. And as the original nazis found out, such moves usually makes things worse for the murdering side. Civilians who just want to be left alone see their relatives executed. And then the next thing you know, those civilians are behind trees, sniping away at the occupiers.
That or they are rounding up people they suspect of being neo-nazi’s and slaughtering them in the streets...
Yeah, and I saw Luke Skywalker blow up the deathstar right on my TV.
So why did the mayor never mention it when he announced the Russians had left. Nobody said a word for days.
These photos would be incredibly easy to fake, except for the ones nobody can ever see publicly. IF it happened, the Uke militia did it.
So that leave you a problem. Do you accept it if the US intelligence agencies say it is true?
Now we have a clear demonstration of why their lies for the last 5 years have been so destructive. You can no longer assume they tell the American people the truth. The default is actually to assume they are lying until undeniable proof otherwise is seen.
1) Ukraine has every incentive to fake an atrocity that might bring NATO in.
2)This is a propaganda war.
3) The Uke militias are in an absolute murderous genocidal mood towards Ukes that are Russian speaking.
4) The NYT makes this claim.
