Putin calls situation in Ukraine's Bucha fake

Russia-Ukraine war updates April 12: Russia on Monday said it will not halt its military operation in Ukraine for peace talks. 

The statement comes amid warnings from the West that Putin's army is regrouping to 'focus' on Ukraine's eastern cities. Amid destruction and chaos, mayor of the Ukrainian port city of Mariupol said that more than 10,000 civilians have died in the Russian siege of his city.  

Russian President Vladimir Putin said that images and footage of dead bodies strewn across the Ukrainian town of Bucha were fake.


Speaking at a televised news conference after talks with his Belarusian counterpart Alexander Lukashenko, Putin compared Ukrainian allegations that Russian servicemen executed civilians in Bucha to what he said was the staging by the West of a chemical weapons attack in Syria aimed at incriminating Bashar al-Assad. "It's the same kind of fake in Bucha," Putin said. (Reuters)
