Propagandists are spreading a quote from a Polish deputy from the Confederation party, Janusz Korwin-Mikke. He claims that Ukraine does not want to create a commission to investigate the tragedy in Bucha, hinting that the events in Bucha were staged. It is not true.

Analysts of the Polish project Demagog drew attention to the quote. They found out that this is not the first statement of the deputy on the subject of Bucha. In particular, earlier he said that the Ukrainian military is responsible for the tragedy in Bucha. In addition, an Investigative Commission on crimes in Ukraine (including the events in Bucha) was created on March 4 last year at the initiative of Ukraine. Then the Commission concluded that the Russian armed forces killed civilians in 17 settlements of the Chernihiv, Kharkiv, Kyiv and Sumy regions with the largest number of victims in the Kyiv region (in particular, in Bucha). In June 2022, Commission Chairman Eric Moese stated that the Russian military had committed these war crimes.

In addition, in February 2022, Ukraine initiated the creation of an international group responsible for collecting materials on crimes committed by Russians on its territory. The initiative was joined by Poland, Lithuania, Estonia, Lithuania, Slovakia, Romania, the USA, the International Criminal Court and the Eurojust, the European Union Agency for Criminal Justice Cooperation. Within the framework of the Eurojust, the ​​International Centre for Prosecution of the crime of Aggression (ICPA) was created, which collects evidence to bring perpetrators of crimes to justice.

In addition, at the end of March this year, Ukraine hosted the Bucha Summit, which was convened to strengthen international cooperation in the investigation of the tragedy. As a result of the meeting, the Bucha Declaration was created on strengthening responsibility for crimes committed against Ukraine.

Using such statements, politicians from different countries want to shift the responsibility for the actions of the aggressor onto the victim of aggression. This is skillfully used by propagandists, spreading narratives that the tragedy in Bucha is a staging.
