“It’s true that the federal government has indications of Russian perpetration in Bucha,” said the source. He said there was no indication of an order from the Russian armed forces’ general staff regarding Bucha. Local officials say more than 300 people were killed by Russian forces in Bucha alone, and around 50 of them were executed. Nations from the Western alliance agreed to increase their supply of arms, spurred on by reports of atrocities by Russian forces in areas surrounding Kyiv. The Kremlin said on Tuesday that Western allegations Russian forces executed civilians in Bucha are a “monstrous forgery” meant to discredit the Russian army and justify new Western sanctions.
