The wiretapping completely refutes Russian claims that footage of dead civilians was staged. The radio communication was supposed to be about bodies found along the main road. One soldier was supposed to tell the others that he and his comrades had shot someone off a bicycle. An image of a corpse on his bicycle circulated around the world.

The material is also said to show that mercenaries in Russian units, such as the Wagner group, played a key role in atrocities against civilians. He has attracted attention during his deployment in Syria for his extraordinary cruelty.
Eyewitnesses have recently stated that at the beginning of the occupation of Buče, “young soldiers” were deployed in the city. When other troops took their place, attacks on civilians spiraled out of control. Several eyewitnesses reported that Chechen troops were operating in the area. Is that a tactic? ask weekly.

German secret service records show that this was not a random act or the act of a disobedient individual soldier. Instead, the material shows that soldiers speak of atrocities committed as part of their daily activities in the occupied territories.

This suggests that the killing of civilians has become part of the ordinary course of action of the Russian army, perhaps part of an obvious strategy, writes the weekly Der Spiegel. According to him, it is about spreading fear and terror among the civilian population and eliminating resistance.
The secret service notified parliament of its findings on Wednesday, the weekly wrote. At the same time, other audio recordings are being examined, but their precise localization is difficult. They are said to be recordings that show what happened both in Bucha and elsewhere in Ukraine. There appear to be signs of similar action around the besieged city of Mariupol in southern Ukraine, which was largely destroyed by Russian bombing.

When the Russian army left the city of Buča after a month of occupation, not only were there mass undiscovered graves with killed civilians, but many bodies were also lying on the streets and along the roads. Some of the victims were tied behind their backs. The dead were not wearing uniforms. They were civilians on bicycles, some still holding shopping bags with stiff hands. The mutilated bodies of 18 men, women and children were found in the basement of one house.
Moscow denies that the Russian military is responsible for the massacre of civilians. They claim the photos are fake. But that was refuted.
