Although the Putin/Lvova-Belova case looks like the crudest case of NATO propaganda, Bucha is not so cut and dried, even though it serves the same purpose of damning Russia.

This article revisits the ICC charges that Russian President Putin and Maria Lvova-Belova orchestrated the mass abduction of children to Russia from Ukraine, and that Russia’s 76th Guards Air Assault Division under the command of Russian General Aleksandr Chayko orchestrated the mass murder of Ukrainian civilians in Bucha in late February/early March 2022. The main reason for this article is to begin the process of rigorously examining both events so that, if they are as untrue as I believe them to be, they may no longer be used as crude propaganda weapons in NATO’s arsenal. Because, given the gravity of these charges, this can only be the most superficial overview of both events, the hope has to be that reputable Russian universities, forensic police units or some similar research-focused institutions will give these very different but umbilically connected events the in-depth attention they deserve.
Although I have previously discussed the trumped up child abduction charges against Putin and Lvova-Belova here, here and here, sadly but unsurprisingly, NATO will not let it go by simply dismissing the charges, which amount to arguing that Putin, already bogged down with wondering if Armageddon is upon us, had a side hustle abducting Ukrainian toddlers to make them sing his praises, and that Lvova-Belova was some sort of Satanic collaborator in that dark pantomime.
Ridiculous as those charges are, the Estonian regime, amongst many other of NATO’s useful idiots, repeats the claims ad nauseam, even though the now totally discredited International Criminal Court to this day still cannot get hold of a picture of Lvova-Belova, whom they have charged with these most despicable of crimes. I dismiss the International Criminal Court for the puppets that they are because POTUS Trump has almost totally defanged them, following their rash attack on Israeli mob boss Netanyahu. Had the ICC stuck to their role of swatting Duterte and NATO’s other smaller enemies, then they would still be in business but NATO vassals like them should really know their place and not speak out of turn.
But let’s not cry over spilled lickspittles and return to the crux of the matter. Whereas the Russian President’s Office, for its part, reports that Lvova-Belova continues to facilitate the return of children caught up in the conflict to their rightful guardians, NATO, as previously reported, claim that upwards of 1.6 million Ukrainian children were smuggled into Russia. And, whereas the Russian Embassy in India have reposted Lvova-Belova’s perfectly reasonable explanation for what Russia did with children caught up in the conflict, NATO outfits like Wikipedia, the Daily Beast, Ukrayinska Pravda, Novaya Gazeta Europe and VICE continue to insist that she is the wicked witch and all of Russia is inhabited by demons, Orcs as NATO’s racist minions call them.
Although some whack job with the knowledge of a Junior Freshman law student wrote about the case in Princeton’s legal journal, and the CIA’s NPR rounded up Ukrainian Prosecutor General Andriy Kostin as well as Amnesty International, Nathaniel Raymond (executive director of the Yale Humanitarian Research Lab) and Harvard University general factotum David Bosco to throw in their tuppence worth, I remain convinced that these idiotic charges were concocted for the primary purpose of painting Putin’s Russia as incorrigibly evil, just as the same thing was done with Assad’s Syria, where guilt was already pre-determined and be damned with all contrary evidence.
Although the Putin/Lvova-Belova case looks like the crudest case of NATO propaganda to me, Bucha, which was recently revisited in this editorial, is not so cut and dried, even though it serves the same purpose of damning Russia, her 76th Guards Air Assault Division and Syrian war veteran General Aleksandr Chayko in particular.
The Syrian connection to Bucha is important as some of the main sources NATO use to condemn Chayko and the men under his command include Bellingcat, whom MIT’s Prof Theodore Postel previously filleted here and here. Bad and all as Bellingcat is, Michelle Mizner, who produced Putin’s Attack on Ukraine: documenting war crimes, is no better as she ponces about Bucha and undermines whatever case might have a chance of being upheld against Chayko, so much so that even the ICC’s Karim Khan, whom MI6 later sent as an attack dog against Putin (and Maria Lvova-Belova ffs), wanted nothing to do with her. Mossad should really reassign her.
Before assigning blame, the Bucha executions must be looked at as part of the Battle of Bucha where, if we rely on NATO sources, the Russian Armed Forces had surrounded Kiev before retreating, and getting, according to Mossad, a very bloody nose from Ukrainian regulars and irregulars in Bucha in the process. If we accept that time line, then we can further divide alleged atrocities into two periods, that of the Russian presence and that of the Russian evacuation when, according to NATO, the Russians let Bucha’s civilian leadership walk free
If we look at these further NATO links here and here, then we can assume that the Ukrainian “patriots” mentioned as being active in Bucha “saving animals” and “merely helping” with logistics and who, NATO say, were formerly present for the Maidan massacres, wanted to slaughter the Russians. Further to that point, we can look at these NATO videos here and here, which tell us what utter bastards Chayko’s men were and how “Oleksiy Pobihay, a Ukrainian territorial defense fighter”, who handled logistics for the Ukrainians, was found dead in a forest ditch with a senior officer in the SBU, Zelensky’s equivalent of the Gestapo.
This puts me in mind of the British Royal Marines in South Armagh, the last IRA stronghold to surrender to MI6, when they mowed down the unarmed Fergal Carragher in a church car park and seriously injured Michael Carragher, his equally innocent brother. Although both brothers were unarmed and going about their normal business, both were IRA members and Michael later got multiple life sentences for being part of the much feared South Armagh sniper unit.
As with the Royal Marines in South Armagh, so also with the 76th Guards Air Assault Division, who probably also did not appreciate being sniped at, bombed and set alight with Molotov cocktails, all of which NATO’s proxies have claimed credit for in the above links. Although we can assume that the Russians might not have treated partisans and fifth columnists with kids’ gloves, we still have not broached the subject of who committed the wide scale massacres that happened around the time the Russians left and the Ukrainians entered. There are only two suspects for those crimes, the retreating Russians, who might have spit the dummy and the advancing Ukrainians, who wanted to rid Bucha of Orthodox Christians.
Had the Russins been the culprits, then surely they would have rounded up their victims, put them in a warehouse and incinerated or shot the lot of them; they certainly would not have cruised about Bucha like American drive by gangsters, picking off civilian stragglers, who really should have stayed out of harm’s way until the coast was clear.
To my mind, the Ukrianians are the likely culprits because, having “liberated” the town, it is feasible that the Nazis would have dragged pro Russians out and shot them on the spot, thus explaining the haphazard positioning of the bodies and the Russian government’s mooted timeline, but who is to really know until a deeper and much forensic analysis is done by the appropriate authorities?
And, though my mind is largely made up on these two events, NATO will never let them go, just as they will never let their Syrian lies die. When the Ukrainian war ends, which it will one day, the mud NATO threw at Putin, Lvova-Belova, the Russian Armed Forces and, God help us, the Russian Orthodox Church will continue to stick and the great and the good will continue to avoid them or, following the pathetic example of Archbishop Alexei of Sitka and Alaska, profusely apologise for having anything to do with them, no doubt as a prelude to apologising for merely existing. And, if that seems harsh on His Eminence, he can take heart that he is but one in a gigantic army of NATO puppets, who are too wooden headed to try to think through the logic of outrages like Bucha, Ukraine’s persecution of the Russian Orthodox Church and similar outrages in Syria and Kursk for themselves.
