Debunking thread 🧵 on the narrative of Z-propagandists like Aaron Maté and Elijah Magnier regarding the #Bucha/#буча massacre:

After giving up on "it's just actors playing dead", their story is now "actually, Ukrainians did it".

Only, it doesn't add up🔽 (1/9)

They're mainly pointing at this UA government publication:

"Today, April 2, in the liberated city of Bucha, Kyiv region, special units of the National Police of Ukraine began clearing the area of saboteurs and accomplices of Russian troops."

None of them mentions the next sentence:
"Explosives experts are investigating war crimes sites and seizing unexploded ordnance and ammunition."

Also, videos of massacred bodies on the street already appeared on April 1.

Grasping at straws, they dug up this video of Bucha mayor on March 31 to claim Russian forces were already gone when the massacre supposedly happened:

Now the thing is, footage of the mass graves in front of the city's main church dates back to at least March 29. With the (unverified) claim it contains 67 civilians who were killed by the Russians:

Also, we have civilian testimonies from March 27 and 29, describing exactly the scenario as Bucha events were started to be described as massacre and fitting to the footage from Bucha's streets.

Second testimony, from March 29. The scenario of civilians that were shot dead on their bikes while carrying food/humanitarian aid is EXACTLY what could be seen on the streets after Ukrainian forces took control. (7/9)

That settles it:
People pushing the false flag narrative are dangerous, malicious liars.

Now, it's still possible that Ukrainian forces too committed Human Rights violations in Bucha, be it with indiscriminate shelling or even execution of collaborators.

Bucha was one of the war's hottest frontlines. That means, not all civilians necessarily were killed by Russian forces on purpose.

None of this changes the fact:
Russian forces conciously committed a massacre in Bucha.
