On the day when photos from Bucha flew around the world, an article with the eloquent title “What Russia Should Do About Ukraine” was published on the website of the Russian state news agency.
During a video address to the Romanian Parliament, the President of Ukraine showed cadres from Bucha and compared the current Kremlin power with the dictatorship of the reign of Nicolae Ceausescu. The online speech was reported by the OPU press service.
At least 300 Ukrainians are currently tortured, shot or otherwise killed in Bucha alone. This number is far from final, said Volodymyr Zelenskyy and accused the Russian government of genocide of the Ukrainian people, comparing it to the Romanian dictator Ceausescu.
That regime was based only on intimidation, repression, brutality and deception. There was nothing bright in it. The Romanian people rose up and defended themselves, saved themselves. By overthrowing inadequate power. Because that was the only way. Ceausescu, his wife, The Securitate could not be persuaded of anything. ” »Ukraine:
“On April 3, when the world was horrified to see the bodies of those killed in Bucha, an article justifying the genocide of Ukrainians was published on the website of the Russian state news agency RIA Novosti. Its name is quite eloquent, I quote: “What should Russia do with Ukraine.” And it's not just text. This is one of the proofs for the future tribunal against Russian war criminals. ” Nicolae Ceausescu was the incumbent head of Romania in the 1960s and 1980s. Having created a cult of his own identity, he fought against any dissent with the help of the Securitate secret police created for this purpose.
Representatives of this department often intercepted mail, listened to the phones of ordinary citizens, inspected apartments. Opponents of the regime were arrested. There have been repeated cases of torture of such detainees. The country's citizens were so intimidated that they were afraid to talk about things that were happening under the dictatorship, even with foreigners.
