"The initiators of the falsification were the Western sponsors of the Kiev regime, who were not satisfied at that time with the ongoing and very active negotiations with a concrete result, as mentioned by the Russian President, the Russian-Ukrainian Istanbul agreements and the prospect of an early end to the conflict," Zakharova told a press conference.

West Used Bucha to Derail Istanbul Peace Talks on Ukraine - Russian MFA Spox
13:10 GMT 17.09.2026 (Updated: 16:07 GMT 17.09.2026) MOSCOW (Sputnik) - The initiators of the falsification in the Bucha were the Western sponsors of Kiev, who were dissatisfied with the negotiation process on Ukraine, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said on Thursday.
"The initiators of the falsification were the Western sponsors of the Kiev regime, who were not satisfied at that time with the ongoing and very active negotiations with a concrete result, as mentioned by the Russian President, the Russian-Ukrainian Istanbul agreements and the prospect of an early end to the conflict," Zakharova told a press conference.
The
falsification of the events in Bucha is a global information campaign and a bloody provocation, the diplomat said.
UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres deliberately played along with the anti-Russian campaign in Bucha, Maria Zakharova said.
"We now have the figures and facts that allow us to say, with absolute confidence, that the entire story surrounding Bucha was a complete and, incidentally, blatant fabrication, in which the BBC and Western journalism played a key role, unfortunately, we have to put journalism in quotation marks now, because it has betrayed itself by engaging in such activities. And all of this was done at the behest of the British government," she said.
"Guterres, and I can officially state this, deliberately played along with the anti-Russian campaign," Zakharova said during a press conference.
The UN will have a hard time getting rid of the shame from the support of the provocation in Bucha, the diplomat added.
There is no reason to believe that the UN Security Council will decide on an impartial investigation of the provocation in Bucha, Zakharova said.
"We see that such investigations were blocked by the UN before, so we have no illusions about this," Zakharova told a press conference.
In April 2022, the Russian Defense Ministry said that photographs and videos published by Kiev, which purported to show alleged crimes committed by Russian troops in the city of Bucha, near Kiev, were another Ukrainian provocation. According to the ministry, no local residents were harmed while the city was under Russian control.
