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.
Lots of the bodies got boxes of Russian aid next to them (green blueish boxes with a large star outline on top)
Its not "Russian aid", it's spent Russian military MRE. The star is their symbol since the Red Army era. Below it reads "Army of Russia" in big letters.
So Russians are eating meals over dead bodies and not handing then out like every nation ever in modern history for hungry populace.
There's a granma who said they fed her, but after they left she found they killed her neighbours.
