Under pressure globally for the heinous Bucha killings of civilians, Russia on Thursday, April 7,said the gory episode has "raised revulsion and condemnation in Russia and India and globally".
"The heinous attack in Bucha brings back the nightmares of the Nazi crimes during the Second World War. It raised revulsion and condemnation in Russia and India and globally," Russian embassy in India said in a statement.
Moscow, however, said : "It is vitally important to take this evidence (given by Ukraine) into account as we seek justice."
"Russia firmly stands for bringing to justice those involved in this outrageous war crime act. The main challenge is to ensure a genuinely independent and unbiased investigation," the statement said.."Regrettably", it said, "there have been so far widespread hollow allegations against Moscow while there’s evidence that it was in fact a cynical false flag operation, perpetrated by Kiev itself".
In its strongest stance so far, especially from the perspective of Moscow,India’s Permanent Representative to the UN T S Tirumurti told a meeting on Ukraine at the
UN Security Council that “recent reports of civilian killings in Bucha are deeply disturbing".
"...We unequivocally condemn these killings and support the call for an independent investigation," he
after the UNSC meet was addressed for the first time by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
“The situation in Ukraine has not shown any significant improvement since the Council last discussed the issue. The security situation has only deteriorated, as well as its humanitarian consequences,” he said.
External Affairs Minister Dr S Jaishankar has also called the Bucha killings as "deeply disturbing".
