⚡️🇺🇦 The photo of the “Bucha massacre of March 19” was taken on April 1
Thanks to the help of our team of OSINT and GEOINT specialists, we were able to accurately determine the time of the photo.
▪️A picture from the NYT allegedly from March 19 shows sandy alluvium after the downpour, which lasted from the 31st to the first.
▪️ The attached comparison from the NYT is based on two images with identical shadow positions. They allegedly compared March 19 and February 28. In fact, they compared February 28 and April 1 - the time and position of the shadows coincide. Original dates of photos according to American time.
▪️ The Maxar website provides information on which satellites have been imaging the Bucha region in recent times. A total of three satellites were involved.
▪️ By checking the angle of the Sun over the horizon, SunCalc found the exact time of the image and the direction of the shadows by searching.
▪️ The photo was taken on April 1 at 11:57 GMT (14:57 local time).
Taras Shapravskyi, secretary of Bucha City Council, and Kateryna Ukraintseva, a member of the city council from “Eurosolidarnost” (Eurosolidarity):
“The city of Bucha remains a dangerous destination, as it is still under occupation. We have verified information from our Armed Forces, from our Main Intelligence Directorate, that armoured vehicles belonging to the ‘Ruscists’ [Russian fascists - ed.] and a significant part of their forces have been withdrawn, but a large number of saboteur groups and Russian military disguised as civilians remain.”

That’s awfully convenient timing if you ask me. I suppose we could get to the bottom of things if the UK wasn’t halting the UNSC investigation…
I agree. Russia has called for a UN Security Council meeting on what it dubbed the “heinous provocation of Ukrainian radicals in Bucha”, but Britain – which holds the Council presidency – has so far refused the request.
