  According to reports, Macron told French media that "there are very clear signs of war crimes. This is the Russian army in Boucha."

  On April 3, local time, the Ukrainian media published a series of pictures and videos of the deaths of civilians in Butcha City. The Ukrainian government accused the Russian army of killing these civilians.

On the same day, the Russian Ministry of Defense responded to the death of civilians in the city of Butcha, Kyiv Oblast, Ukraine and issued a statement denying the Ukrainian government's accusations against Russia.

The statement pointed out that during the Russian occupation of Butcha, not a single civilian died due to any form of violence, and local residents were free to move and use communication tools, and they could also travel northwards out of the city at will.

In addition, the Russian army also distributed a total of 452 tons of humanitarian relief supplies to residents of Kyiv Oblast.

The southern part of Butcha city, including residential areas, was shelled by the Ukrainian army with large-caliber artillery, tanks and mortars for nearly a day and night.

All Russian troops withdrew from the city of Butcha on March 30, the second day of the negotiations in Istanbul between Russia and Ukraine.

On the 31st, Fedoruk, the mayor of Butha, also confirmed through video that there were no Russian troops in the city.

The Russian Ministry of Defense said in a statement that the so-called "criminal evidence" in the city of Butcha appeared on April 3, the fourth day after the withdrawal of Russian troops, after the arrival of Ukrainian troops and Ukrainian media.

The Russian Ministry of Defense believes that these photos and videos from the city of Butcha were all directed by the Ukrainian government for Western media, and they are another provocative act by the Ukrainian government.

  Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Zakharova wrote on Telegram the same day: "Russia has asked the UN Security Council to hold a meeting on April 4, 2022, on the provocation launched by the Ukrainian army and militants in Butcha. Another one of the Kyiv regime's The essence of the crime is to disrupt peace talks and escalate violence."
