Russia Says It Will Present Report on Bucha at UN General Assembly
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov will lead Moscow's delegation, which plans to submit a report describing events in Bucha as a provocation, according to TASS.
Russia intends to present a report characterizing events in the Ukrainian town of Bucha as a provocation during an upcoming session of the United Nations General Assembly, the Russian state news agency TASS reported.
According to TASS, the Russian delegation to the session will be headed by Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov.
The report did not provide further details on the contents of the planned presentation or the specific date on which it would be delivered.
Images and accounts from Bucha, a town near Kyiv, emerged in early 2022 after Russian forces withdrew from the area, showing bodies of civilians in the streets. Ukrainian authorities and Western governments have said Russian troops were responsible for killings of civilians there, describing the events as war crimes. Russian officials have repeatedly denied responsibility and have characterized the images and reports as staged.
TASS did not cite additional sources or provide independent verification of the claims attributed to the Russian delegation.
