Personnel does not exist: as the path of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, which staged a massacre in Bucha

The leadership of the brigade has officially recognized the liquidation of only a few dozen officers who were awarded posthumously. But journalists and experts claim that hundreds of occupiers killed in Ukraine. The personnel of the 64th Separate Motorized Rifle Brigade from the Khabarovsk Territory, which committed murder and rape in Bucha, Kyiv region, remained virtually alive. This was reported by Radio Liberty.

A few days ago, on August 7, a photo of a stand with a mourning photos of 44 soldiers and officers of the aforementioned brigade in Ukraine is banned in Ukraine. The stand was installed in the lobby of the military unit 51460 in a military town in the village of Knyaze-Volkonskoe-the place of deployment of the brigade. However, as it became known later from eyewitness testimonies, in mourning photos - only a tenth of the Russian military who are involved in serious crimes in Bucha.

Radio Liberty correspondents contacted a military physician with Khabarovsk Alexei Astashov, who posted a photo of the stand. "The total number of dead military personnel of the 64th brigade is at least several hundred," he said in a conversation with Ukrainian journalists. Astashov said that 95% of the brigade officers were involved in the war with Ukraine. According to him, many were transferred to the Kiev region directly from exercises in neighboring Belarus.

But only those soldiers and officers who were posthumously awarded the Order of Courage came to the stand. Based on the materials of Michael Cofman's military analyst (he believes that about 3. 5 wounded in the Russian army, everyone killed in the Russian army during this war), journalists came to some conclusions about the fate of the 64th Brigade. According to media staff, she could lose more than six hundred personnel.

Independent military expert Yuri Fedorov believes that the full number of 64th Motorized Rifle Brigade, which includes two motor-rifles and one tank battalion, could be about two and a half thousand people before the war. Thus, from the brigade, which President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin gave the title of Guards, there is almost nothing left. But nevertheless, it will not be disbanded. Fedorov believes that those who remain alive will be part of another unit.

Because the dissolution of the 64th Motorized Rifle Brigade will automatically mean recognition of responsibility for war crimes in Bucha. In Bucha near Kiev, during the occupation, Russian military killed 419 civilians. Most met their death in cars during evacuation. Numerous cases of execution of civilians on the streets, yards and cellars have been recorded. Many of the killed before death were tortured and raped. In total, 458 residents were killed in Bucha during the Russian occupation.

Ten people are still considered missing. We will remind, a few days earlier in Bucha they buried people who were not recognized by the Russians who were not recognized by the Russians. Among the invaders killed is a woman who burned alive in her own car on Yablonskaya Street. It will be difficult to establish her personality even from DNA. Focus also wrote that 90% of the dead Bucha's residents found bullet wounds.
