The Bucha Massacre has not been properly investigated or analysed to lay blame 100 per cent. Russian forces have been instructed to obey the Geneva Conventions.
It is known that civilians during the Russian occupation were asked to wear white armbands to be identified. These people were also viewed by Ukrainian forces as collaborators.
Throughout history, Ukraine has had ethnic hatreds that has blown up into lynching’s and massacres, especially during the second world war.
I am not saying it did not happen. However, it needs time for the evidence to be gathered. Russia did call for an emergency security council meeting to discuss the matter.
But back to the battlefield, Putin had told the Russian population to prepare for a long conflict beyond May 9. The weather is due to fine up soon and this may be the trigger for the offensive to begin in the southeast. Already the convoys on the railways, roads and airports have almost stopped on the roads out of Gomel.
I did not see one truck full of soldiers today coming through Gomel. Unlike the last few days. It’s terribly unreasonable weather right now, low cloud, sleet and winter conditions. But not freezing.
There are strikes happening throughout Central Ukraine and heavy missile attacks on infrastructure. But definitely something is brewing in the southeast.
