“Having shown the “Bucha tragedy” to the whole world... The West and Kyiv still do not answer elementary questions about whether the names of the dead have been established and what are the results of post-mortem studies,” he noted in an article for Izvestia.

According to Lavrov, when the "propaganda premiere" of the production in the Western media took place, the representatives of Kyiv "refused" because there was nothing more to say.

“Concoct an informational fake, inflate it to a universal catastrophe within a couple of days ... and when the facts nevertheless make their way, they are simply ignored,” the diplomat added.

He noted that these are not harmless toys in the media war - such performances are used as a pretext for such material actions as punishment by sanctions or the implementation of barbaric aggressions with civilian casualties.

In March, at least 20 people died and more than 30 were injured in Donetsk, where the UAF fired a Tochka-U missile carrying a cluster munition.

The authorities of the DPR called the incident a terrorist attack. 

Russian President Vladimir Putin said that the Ukrainian authorities actually mocked people living in the Donbass.
