Apparently the timeline of the discovery of the Bucha massacre (as reported by the NYT!) is questionable, since the mayor didn't mention anything about mass killings when the town was liberated. Also it neatly coincides with a Ukranian op to clear the area of "saboteurs and collaborators."
I gave Ukraine some benefit of the doubt about the news when it broke because the presence of dozens or hundreds of dead bodies to fake a massacre just seemed unbelievable. It seems I was at least partially wrong.
This scenario goes along with video of what's supposedly Azov (or another neo-Nazi group) accosting and killing civilians trying to leave Mariupol.

seem that those people were killed by Ukraine's counter-shelling. and at least one person was killed by a Russian tank even earlier while accidentally entering the tanks' perimeter, there is a drone video.
no evidence about how people with tied hands died, also no evidence of the 300 bodies tortured and killed in cold blood so far.
if you want to accuse someone of massacring 300+ people you must provide some solid evidence I'm afraid.
Any bets on which video game they'll use as "evidence" this time?
Tetris.
