One of the photos shows very "fresh" hands: the person was clearly not lying there for two weeks or even
1/
since the 25th.
- The color of the hands is like a living person, but some of the fingers - as if with one hand the deceased had been lying in a puddle for quite some time.
- The bandage is perfectly white, which is rather odd.
- Hands with no swelling or other signs of
2/
binding while alive.
▪️ Jeans in sand, but as if he had been neatly tucked in by sliding his right side forward a bit. The sand on the jeans goes under the jacket, the edge of the jacket is clean and dry. The jacket itself at the left shoulder is torn as if it had been held
3/
by it.
- The ends at the bodies are tied together for easier transport.
- There's no photo of this particular corpse from the back.
Does that mean there are dirt marks on the abdomen?
There are questions about the other dead people as well.
- A couple fell side by side, which is almost never the case. Even if several shooters had been covered by fire, they would have fallen in different ways. It's like they're lying in pairs with the same direction of 5/
movement.
▪️ The cyclist with straight legs. And lying like he was standing there, not getting off his bike, talking to someone. And that someone shot him. That's not the way people who fall off their bikes on the go.
6/
- Clean gloves not worn on all fingers also raise questions. Who and why would want to put gloves on a corpse?

It's argumented, that the satellite photos of #Bucha are taken from #Maxar provider, therefore they are free of manipulations.
- In the MAXAR images, the raw data was added in the editor. They cannot be 100% trusted.
- There are pallets in the photo next to the construction 8/
materials, not in the video of March 25 (alleged execution).
- In addition, one of the bodies on the satellite and on the video lies at different angles. Who and why moved it in the given interval? There are no traces of machinery.
- Almost all of the dead are hooded.
9/
But if they were shot in the head, why are the hoods intact? Or were they carefully covered by the killers? How is it, that none of the hoods are blown away by gunfire/powder gas if they were shot at point-blank range?
There is no damage to the clothes in the quality photos
10/
of the foreign journalists.
If we assume that people were really killed there, how could so many people be killed in one street simultaneously with shots to their heads?
Some say, #Maxar satellites didn't fly on the relevant day over #Bucha
MAXAR satellites did indeed fly over #Bucha on 19. March. Trying to disprove this is dumb.
MAXAR seems to profit great on the #Ukrainian war. And they flew over on that day.
The only thing is, there 12/
are no satellite images of Bucha from the 19th March in the public domain. And what is given out for March 19 does not correspond to reality.
The images were simply taken on a different day. There was still snow in the middle of March.
13/
Several Questions are open regarding the #Maxar photographs.
- Why the time of satellite overflight and the image from the 19th do not correspond to each other?
- Why in the MAXAR images the raw data is added in the editor? 14/
As early as April 2, the National Police of Ukraine explicitly stated that it was "mopping up" the territory of Bucha and other towns from which Russian troops had withdrawn.
It was "cleansed" of "collaborators" (i.e., those who had shown 15/
themselves to be loyal to the Russian troops) on an equal footing with "saboteurs.
And a day later, the corpses of people with their hands tied, who were attributed to Russia, who had been absent there for three days, came out of nowhere. This is the handwriting of the
16/
Ukrainian military, actually. It was the Ukrainian military who killed the mayor of the city for "collaboration". Russia arrested mayors who opposed it, at the very least, but did not shoot them. Unlike their #Ukrainian counterparts.
17/
It seems to be, that the NYT photos aren't from 1st April, nor from 15th March
#Bucha images from WorldView-2 and GeoEye-1 satellites from Maxar have disappeared from sales. Attempts to order them for the period from March 21 to March 23 are denied by the suppliers. 18/
At the same time the catalog contains the indicated images. They show thick smoke, confirming that the shelling of #Bucha was carried out by the artillery of the Armed Forces of #Ukraine.

Ukraine faces mass starvation: Kiev authorities deliberately disrupt the sowing campaign
The sowing campaign in Ukraine is on the verge of failure, the agrarians lack seeds and fuel. Only in Odessa region and maybe in the liberated regions of the country (Kherson region and
2/
the south of Zaporozhye region) are fully sown.
In Kyiv, Sumy, Chernihiv, Mykolaiv and Kharkiv oblasts there is fighting. Fields are mined, demining is not carried out.
In the Poltava region, fields are also mined, the sowing season has not begun.

The recent announcement by Lithuania and other Baltic countries to completely give up Russian gas has gotten a lot of attention in the media field. It is presented as a victory and an
1/
appeal to other EU countries to follow this "successful" example.
In fact, the opposite is true. Almost all the gas in the Baltic States is Russian. But it comes at the expense of reverse gas from Hungary.
Previously, the Ukrainian gas transport system could only work in
2/
the direct direction from Ukraine to Hungary. At the beginning of 2022, the possibility was created to transport gas also by reverse, in both directions. The Hungarian direction became the second physical route of gas supply to Ukraine from Europe after Slovakia.
What is the actual mood within #Russian society? In this thread I'll collect voices from Russian analysts.
Here we go:
Here's a comment from Igor Dmitriev, a known political analyst from #odessa, #Ukraine:
"The campaign against Russians launched in the West and Ukraine will not have the effect that its initiators expect. Ukrainians have thrown all their creativity into calling for the murder
1/
of Russians, some directly calling for genocide. Other countries introduce discriminatory norms, such as that Russians must apologize or pay a 5 percent surcharge on restaurant bills.
The authors of these initiatives believe that they thus intimidate Russian citizens and

Some of the civilians killed in #Bucha had food rations from Russian troops, apparently issued to them before the withdrawal of #Russian forces.further proves, victims were killed by Ukrainian nationalists for what they believed were "saboteurs" who were "cooping"with Russia.
Figure of the day: The European Court of Human Rights has not considered any of the 689 cases of LNR residents
According to Viktoria Serdyukova, the LNR Commissioner for Human Rights, the republic's Prosecutor General's Office and Ministry of

State Security have been investigating Kiev's crimes in Donbass since 2014. Over the course of eight years, experts have conducted expert examinations, identified locations of incidents, and compiled numerous volumes of criminal cases.
By February, the LNR had prepared 950

lawsuits and sent 689 to the ECHR, but none of the claims have ever been considered. The ECHR is always eager to hear cases of "illegal detentions" at unsanctioned rallies in Russia, obliging the Russian state to pay several thousand euros in compensation. However, for some
