Regarding what happened in Bucha, I can add my 5 kopecks after Alexander Kots. From 2 to 31 I was part of the battalion in this direction. In all the settlements occupied by our military, the movement of civilians along the street was carried out with a white bandage on their left arm. I saw this in Ivankovo, Krasny Rog, Maryanovka and other settlements where we went on combat missions.
I guess the following happened. After the withdrawal of the RF Armed Forces from this theater of operations following the results of negotiations in Turkey, the Armed Forces of Ukraine began to enter cities and villages and unintentionally (and I do not exclude that on purpose) opened fire on men with a white bandage on their hands. It happened en masse. And when they realized that they were massacring civilians, it was decided to present this crime of theirs as the work of the RF Armed Forces.
I testify and wrote about this above that we, Russian soldiers, treated peaceful people well, one might even say with love. They gave some of the dry rations to small (sometimes babies) children: applesauce, jam. My commander, after a trip to the Gomel hospital, bought diapers and baby food with his own money, especially for babies. The children's parents cried tears of joy in response to the kindness of our military.
I am convinced that this provocation will be refuted, and its organizers will suffer the deserved punishment.
I ask for the maximum repost.
Private of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, Pavel Gubarev
