Ukrainians murdering a cyclist in #Bucha. Satellite imagery (Maxar) from March 10th shows the building on the corner was destroyed, meaning the drone footage was filmed before that date which is consistent with the #AzovBattalion drone video caption stating the 3rd.

Rather odd for Ukrainian forces to be raising the flag in #Bucha if Russian forces were in control eh?

It appears #Bellingcat is wrong,

Bucha, March 3, 2022, raising the Ukrainian flag (video)

bucha.com.ua/index.php?news…

Numerous reports put the encounter with Russian forces some 6-7km away near Vorzel from the column of equipment located near Vodoprovidna and Yablunska St. So there needs to be better evidence to refute that the equipment there was Ukrainian.

So by the 3rd Russian forces had been repelled well into to the outskirts of #Bucha and Ukrainian forces in Bucha raised the flag. The video shot by aerial *reconnaissance* of Azov fighters on 3rd was not there for targeting - no drone footage of weapons strikes on the column.

Given the available evidence so far it appears on balance that the man riding the bicycle was shot by Ukrainian forces. #Bellingcat appears to have jumped to an unfounded conclusion and attributed blame to the wrong party in the conflict. #bellingcrap

This video which appears from metadata to have been uploaded on the 1st March shows Russian captured equipment being moved on Vokzalnaya St., the Street where the shooting took place allegedly on the 3rd March #Bucha

Therefore, and given all the other contextual historical data, it is highly unlikely that the #AzovBattalion video shows Russian equipment on the 3rd as is alleged. So either it is Ukrainian equipment or the date is a lie and the video was shot on an earlier date.

It isn't sensible that #AzovBattalion or those describing the video would lie about the date. Metadata doesn't help in this case, the creation date is 2022:04:05. The original file is needed. t.me/irpin_b_politi…

If the video was shot when Russian forces were allegedly on Vokzalnaya Street before March then it means the corpse was left in place for over a month. That seems very unlikely.

#Bucha

It also works AGAINST the conspiracy theory that Russian forces shot people randomly as there would have been ample time for people in Bucha to have brought the event to the worlds attention much earlier.

There is an absence of visual evidence so far, apart from the #AzovBattalion video, to confirm or refute whether Russian or Ukrainian forces were ever on Vokzalnaya Street or the nearby adjacent streets in February.

*In late late February like the 28th, early March to be specific. Prior to that there had been attacks on Russian columns of equipment.

@CL4Syr The cyclist near the pole in this video AND a woman appears.
