0:46Now PlayingRussia's United Nations ambassador on Monday accused Ukraine and the West of "a false flag attempt" to blame Russian troops for atrocities in the town of Bucha on the outskirts of the capital Kyiv.
He accused Ukrainian nationalists and called the video of bodies lying in the streets "a crude forgery."
Vassily Nebenzia charged that any atrocities were committed by Ukrainian nationalists and insisted that during the time that Bucha was under Russian control, “not a single local person has suffered from any violent action.”
At a news conference, the Russian ambassador showed brief video footage of the smiling mayor of Bucha on March 31 calling the withdrawal of Russian forces a victory of the Ukrainian army and never mentioning “any mass atrocities, dead bodies, killings, graves or anything like that.”
He also showed footage from Ukrainian television on April 2 showing Ukrainian soldiers entering Bucha, with “no dead bodies in the streets.”
He said Russia would present further "factual evidence” to the UN Security Council on Tuesday.
