The video has been tested so well that the Russian Defense Ministry cannot comment.
The Russian opposition publication Meduza has published a crucial video, which almost unequivocally refutes the lie of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation that “ while there were Russian troops, everyone was alive “. The video shows that the residents were killed long before the liberation of the city from the Russian occupiers.
These records clearly show the people killed, whose bodies lie on Jablonska Street, as well as several neighboring streets of Bucha. The bodies are located exactly where they were filmed and filmed by Ukrainian police and journalists. All the victims, taken from the air, lie not only in the same places, but also in the same poses as in the pictures from the ground.
One of the recordings shows that the bodies of the dead are lying next to the Russian army's combat vehicles, just a few dozen meters away. The Russian Defense Ministry calls March 30 the day of the withdrawal of troops from Bucha.
Journalists give three key arguments in favor of the fact that the video they received is not a forgery and actually reflects the real picture.
- First, Russian military equipment is clearly visible on Yablonskaya Street, on several shootings and on different days. Several armored vehicles are there on the 23rd and until March 28. In the video, dated March 29, Russian equipment is no more. The Ukrainian army does not have such equipment.
- Secondly, the source provided raw, original video files taken by drone. These files contain detailed metadata, including shooting time data.
- Third, because the metadata can be forged if desired, the journalists hired two independent experts who checked the shooting time with astronomical analysis of shadows in the image. Its results confirmed that the time of metadata coincides with the real time of filming, and the first video with the dead could not be shot after March 26, 2022.
