New drone imagery shows Russian forces firing on a cyclists in Bucha, on Yablunska Street at 50.54148, 30.228898, where multiple corpses have been filmed and photographed t.me/nexta_live/246…
The location where the cyclist was shot was filmed after Ukrainian forces entered Bucha, where a corpse is clearly visible next to a bicycle.
Satellite imagery from March 11th, via @planet, shows the building next to where the man was shot was destroyed at that date, indicating the drone video was filmed before that date.
This video emerges as Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov claims the "provocation" in Bucha was committed after the departure of Russian troops.

This weekend has seen Russian officials, the @mfa_russia and @mod_russia make various attempts to debunk and dismiss videos coming from the town of Bucha. Bellingcat, along with the online community, took a look at those claims. bellingcat.com/news/2022/04/0…
Russian ministries and officials have repeatedly claimed that images from Bucha did not emerge until 4 days after Russian forces left the area, at the end of March, such as this statement from the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

This is provably false, with videos shared from Bucha showing corpses along Yablunska Street from as early as the evening of April 1st, not 4 days later as Russian government sources claim. Here's the earliest example we identified:

Bellingcat can confirm that three members of the delegation attending the peace talks between Ukraine and Russia on the night of 3 to 4 March 2022 experienced symptoms consistent with poisoning with chemical weapons. One of victims was Russian entrepreneur Roman Abramovich.
Abramovich, along with another Russian entrepreneur, had taken part in the negotiations alongside Ukraine’s MP Rustem Umerov. The negotiation round on the afternoon of 3 March took place on Ukrainian territory, and lasted until about 10 pm.
Three members of the negotiating team retreated to an apartment in Kyiv later that night and felt initial symptoms - including eye and skin inflammation and piercing pain in the eyes - later that night. The symptoms did not abate until the morning.

An investigation by Bellingcat, @the_ins_ru and #BBCEyeInvestigations has found that in the months before he was shot dead, Russian politician Boris Nemtsov was followed by members of the same FSB squad that tailed @navalny and other opposition figures bellingcat.com/news/2022/03/2…
@the_ins_ru @navalny Nemtsov was once the man many thought would succeed Boris Yeltsin before Vladimir Putin was appointed acting president of Russia in December 1999.
@the_ins_ru @navalny Nemtsov was shot dead in Moscow in February 2015. Zaur Dadayev, a former Chechen security officer, was convicted of the murder by a Russian military court. nbcnews.com/news/world/bor…

Bellingcat has been logging incidents that appear to depict civilian impact or harm since the beginning of the conflict in Ukraine.

We have now visualised this data in a TimeMap feature that allows users to explore what we have found 👇 bellingcat.com/news/2022/03/1…
You can go direct to the TimeMap here (although please note it is not yet compatible with mobile devices): ukraine.bellingcat.com
The aim of this project is to detail incidents where there is open source evidence of potential civilian harm, as well as attempting to clarify where such incidents have taken place and when.
