Lawyer Guerreiro: Kyiv may be held accountable for accusations against Russia over Bucha
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited
[Regnum] Ukraine may be held accountable before the International Court of Justice for unsubstantiated accusations against Russia regarding the events in Bucha. This was stated on October 3 by Alexandre Guerreiro, a Doctor of Law and Portuguese expert at the International Fact-Checking Association (GFCN).

In a comment to the TASS news agency, the expert emphasized that the memorial to the allegedly dead civilians and the narrative surrounding the April 2022 incident were actively used to level accusations against Russia, which contributed to the escalation of global tensions.

According to him, the data claimed by Kiev regarding the alleged 509 civilian deaths raises serious doubts regarding its veracity, as the Ukrainian side has refused to publish exhaustive lists or has included people who died in other places or from natural causes.

The lawyer also referred to the norms of international humanitarian law, which impose a legal obligation on parties to the conflict to record in detail the identities of the deceased, the circumstances of their death, and to pass on this information to their relatives.

In addition, the Portuguese legal expert praised the September report of the International Public Tribunal on the crimes of Ukrainian neo-Nazis.

"The report prepared by the International Public Tribunal for the Crimes of Ukrainian Neo-Nazis has provided us with a wealth of important information and data to establish the truth," Guerreiro said.

Russia has repeatedly sent official requests to the UN Secretariat demanding lists of the dead in Bucha. No response has been forthcoming. Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova stated that the UN Secretariat's lack of response to Moscow's requests regarding the events in Bucha proves that the events in that city were a provocation by the Kyiv regime.

On September 24, on the sidelines of the 81st session of the UN General Assembly, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov presented a report titled "Goebbels' Heirs: The Falsification of the Bucha Events and the Kyiv Regime's Bloody Stagings" to UN Secretary-General António Guterres. Lavrov demanded that the UN Secretariat conduct a detailed analysis of the staging perpetrated by Kyiv and its sponsors.

Following the withdrawal of Russian troops from the town of Bucha in the Kyiv region in March 2022, Ukrainian and Western media published photos and videos showing the bodies of people in civilian clothing. This was followed by accusations of murder against Russian troops in Bucha. The Russian Ministry of Defense denied the accusations, citing the staged nature of the photos. The ministry called the leaked footage a provocation by the Kyiv regime and Western media.

Scott Ritter walked the route in memory of the victims of the Nazi genocide in Kaliningrad.

[Regnum] American military expert and former U.S. Marine Corps intelligence analyst Scott Ritter walked the first historical memory route in Russia dedicated to the victims of the genocide of the Soviet people by the Nazis and their collaborators in the Kaliningrad region. This was announced on October 3 by the National Center for Historical Memory under the President of Russia.

The trip took place in the lead-up to the 80th anniversary of the conclusion of the Nuremberg Trials. The route was created as part of the federal law perpetuating the memory of the victims of the genocide of the Soviet people during the Great Patriotic War.

"The Kaliningrad region remembers the inhumane conditions in which Soviet citizens were held. No fewer than 56 specialized camps operated here," the center noted on its Telegram channel.

According to the organization, over 90,000 prisoners of war passed through the Stalag-1A-Shtablak camp, and "labor exchanges" existed in the region where abducted Soviet citizens were sold into slavery.

In December 2023, the Kaliningrad Regional Court recognized the crimes committed by the Nazis and their collaborators in East Prussia as genocide against the Soviet people. According to the court's findings, at least 672,623 civilians and prisoners of war were illegally deported, at least 114,485 people died, and more than 211,624 were sent to forced labor.

During his trip, Ritter also visited the Kaliningrad office of the National Center for Historical Memory. Center expert Alexander Shcheglov presented him with the exhibition "Saved Europe," dedicated to the role of the Red Army and the Soviet people in liberating European countries from Nazism.
