LATEST: Russia responds to accusations that its troops have deliberately killed civilians in Ukraine.
Russia responded on Monday to accusations that its troops have deliberately killed civilians in Ukraine, after images emerged showing bodies in civilian clothes scattered in areas on the outskirts of the capital that were recently recaptured from Russian forces.
"This information should be seriously doubted," Peskov told reporters."From what we have seen, the video materials cannot be trusted to a large extent, as our specialists from the Defense Ministry have detected signs of video forgery and other kinds of fakes."A mass grave is seen behind the Church of St. Andrew and Pyervozvannoho All Saints in the town of Bucha, northwest of the Ukrainian capital Kyiv on April 3, 2022.
Russia will reiterate its calls to discuss the matter at the United Nations Security Council on Monday, according to Peskov. Russia said it will repeat its request for the United Nations Security Council to meet on Monday over what Moscow described as"criminal provocations by Ukrainian soldiers and radicals" in the Ukrainian city of Bucha.
Ukrainian Prosecutor General Iryna Venedyktova announced Sunday that 410 civilians were found dead in recently recaptured towns near the capital as part of an investigation into possible war crimes by Russian forces. Images emerged showing bodies in civilian clothes strewn in the streets of Bucha, northwest of Kyiv.
