In Russia, 64 brigades were noted by presidential decree of Vladimir Putin , which was one of the units that distinguished themselves with special atrocities in Bucha. In particular, the brigade was awarded the title of “Guards”.
The decree refers to “mass heroism and courage, resilience and courage” of servicemen who “defended the Motherland and state interests”, ie tortured and killed peaceful Ukrainians, raped women and looted other people's property.
According to Kyrylo Budanov, head of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, in an interview with the German newspaper Spiegel, it was the 64th brigade of the Russian Defense Ministry that committed bloody crimes in the Kyiv region.
“Most of the crimes (in Bucha – ed.), Of course, committed by units of the 64th OMSBR. Most of this brigade consists of non-Russian nationalities. However, the commanders were Russian by nationality and also participated in crimes. Even the deputy commander of the brigade took part, “Budanov said.
According to Bucha Mayor Anatoliy Fedoruk, 85% of those killed in Bucha, whose bodies have already been removed from mass graves, have bullet wounds >, indicating premeditated murder, not accidental death.
