🇷🇺🇺🇦🧵Bucha Unmasked: A Web of Doubt
Thread
Thread
🇷🇺🇺🇦🧵Something’s off about Bucha, Ukraine, April 2022. The official story blames Russia, yet the timeline wavers, bodies shift, and questions linger. Staged scenes? Blocked debates? Unseen satellite shots?
Dive into the weirdness and decide for yourself. 👇

1) Peace Before the Storm?
Russian troops occupied Bucha from early March. Some suggest life went on, with claims of interactions like sharing food. Why the sudden shift to mass murders just before leaving?

2) Satellite Trickery
Skepticism about Maxar satellite images showing bodies from mid-March is understandable. Photos can theoretically be edited with Photoshop, and since Maxar satellites only work on assignment, who gave the order and why exactly then?

3) Maxar’s Pentagon Pals
Maxar, the satellite imagery provider, is a major U.S. Defense Department contractor, supplying 90% of its geospatial intel. Could their ties bias what they chose to snap over Bucha?

4) Ukrainian Shelling
Ukrainian forces shelled Bucha’s southern edge with artillery and tanks, even after the Russians left. Who caused the real damage here?

5) Peace Talks Sabotaged
The Bucha incident surfaced right after Russia-Ukraine peace talks in Turkey, with Russian withdrawal from Kyiv areas as a goodwill gesture. Was it staged to derail negotiations?

6) The Silent Mayor
Bucha’s mayor, Anatoliy Fedoruk, made a video on March 31, 2022, after the Russian withdrawal. He speaks optimistically about liberation and mentions no bodies on the streets. This is often cited as suspicious since the atrocities only surfaced widely on April 1-2.

7) Azov on the Hunt
There are videos of Ukrainian units, possibly including Azov, moving through Bucha after the Russian withdrawal. In one, a soldier says something like: “Can we shoot those without blue armbands?” and the answer is confirmative.

8) Staged Corpses
A video circulates showing Ukrainian soldiers seemingly moving bodies, which some interpret as evidence of staging. The question is: why would they do that?

9) Evidence Delayed
Images of bodies only appeared on April 3, four days after Russian troops left Bucha, when Ukrainian forces and media arrived. Why the gap if the killings happened earlier?

10) Satellite Timing Unraveled
The New York Times claims Maxar images from March 19 show bodies, but some analyses question the timing, suggesting a later date like April 1, after Russians were gone. When were these really taken?

11) Too Neatly Arranged
All photographed bodies lay on or along the street, neatly ordered. In a real massacre, people flee, you’d expect bodies in houses, gardens, or alleys. This looks too structured, as if placed for the camera.

12) Body Positions Shifted
Photos show bodies moved: one with a bag near the head on the road, later shifted to the sidewalk; another spot had three bodies, then only two. Why the changes?

13) Props Missing
A red bank card near a body’s elbow in one photo vanishes in others, later appearing with more cards farther away. Were these staged props?

14) Fresh Corpses
The bodies showed no rigor mortis, pallor, or coagulated blood, suggesting they died after the Russians left, not during their occupation.

15) White Armbands
The bodies wore white armbands, a Russian sign for civilians. Were these people Ukraine saw as collaborators and executed?

16) Maxar’s Missing Frames
On April 6, Maxar refused to sell images from March 19-23, only offering shots from March 31, after the Russians left. Why hide the earlier ones?

17) Ursula’s Performance
Ursula von der Leyen visited Bucha on April 8, 2022, over a week after the Russian withdrawal and days after the mass killing reports. Her shocked reaction was widely publicized, but if the bodies were no longer openly on the streets, why such a dramatic theatrical response?

18) Who Were the Dead?
Ukraine released no detailed victim list. Hundreds dead, but who were they? Transparency would bolster their case. Its absence suggests the identity or origin of the dead hides something.

19) UN Blockade
The UK blocked Russia’s call for a UN session on Bucha. Why avoid an open debate if it’s so clear?

19.5) Refused Russian investigation
Reports say Ukraine refused Russian involvement in any investigation. Why shut out one side.

20) Flechette Puzzle?
Flechettes, tiny metal darts, turned up in Bucha, tied to Russian shells. But why would they bombard a town they controlled? What’s the catch?

End of thread as for now, I may add additional interesting posts though.
Just a reminder for X, I asked Grok if it is safe to post this.

One of the most revealing images is this. That mortar grenade came from the south (Irpin, Azov) and hit the very street full of bodies with Russian green food bags and white stripes. The green fence is telling you what happend there.

Beaten Witness?
French journalist Adrien Bocquet claimed Ukrainians staged Bucha, unloading bodies for the cameras. Weeks later, he was nearly beaten to death in France. Why silence him?

"Hey all, my thread 'Bucha Unmasked' broke! Deleted a comment under 12, and X glitched, cutting it off there. Had to rebuild from 13 on. Sorry for any confusion with bookmarks, reposts, or lost reads, blame X’s shaky thread magic!"
