Umm, Putin literally gave a "blood & soil" speech before invading. Do you think the mass graves found are also fake?

These are genuine graves with genuine dead people inside and genuine crosses above them, often trying to describe the contents, such as "17 Ukrainian soldiers".

BUCHA? do these look like soldiers to you? https://storage.googleapis.com/afs-prod/media/8b286707d5df49...

I don't think I'm qualified to comment about their actual contents, but it seems that these (soldiers and victims of the war) graveyards were described in Russian telegram war channels in spring already.

Yeah there's a months-old video from the Russian MoD showing the burying process at that exact site in Izyum, I don't think there's much to it

Bucha though, I've seen drone footage of civilians getting executed by Russian BMPs.

You could argue the systematicity of that process, but Russia's occupation west of Kyiv undeniably caused a large number of civilian casualties

I was speaking in general. Of all the people I've been told to hate and despise over the last several years, Putin is an outlier. He actually is directly responsible for killing people.
