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.

That's clear thinking.

Not so clear is this paragraph, supposedly the main evidence of "the atrocity," which has me shaking my head:

The newspaper matched up to 11 bodies on the streets in a video shot by a local resident on April 2 with a satellite image from March 11 - when Russia was occupying the town - which suggests the bodies had been there for weeks.

For weeks? And no one did anything about them? And these satellite images -- where did they come from, and who supplied them to the New York Times? And if they were taken on March 11, how come they're just being mentioned now, conveniently matched up with a video produced by an unidentified "local resident" which may "suggest" the bodies had been there for a long time?

As usual, the "details" are very vague.

Exactly.

Those bodies in recentvideos have not been sitting put3 weeks. Birds & dogswould have been gnawing on them and torn them apart..

“Plus it’s really really stupid to leave evidence of a major war crime lying around for that long.”

Yep, they all could fit into 3 large containers...why would Russia leave them there? Who benefits? So here we go again!

Ever hear of snipers? My son and son-in-law had to deal with them and did! Desert Storm and Op. Iraqi Freedom.

Oh, did I mention that fedeyeen snipers in Iraq used women and children as human shields while attacking our soldiers?

Russian soldiers are not big on health and safety. They even stuffed bodies into the water supply and defecated on the corpse. They defecated on the floor in each room of the police station in Bucha. Some Russians were living in a home where they slaughtered livestock--inside the home--and were sleeping next to the guts and leftovers of the animal.

Russian soldiers are called Orcs and Goblins for a reason.
