BTW in case you’re wondering what Russians are saying about the Bucha massacre, the Russian Foreign Ministry denies that Russians or the Russian military had anything to do with the massacre of civilians there. They’re pointing the finger at the Ukraine security forces. I’ve also read some claims that “irregulars”, civilian separatists from Donbas, were responsible.
At this point I think the greatest likelihood is that the Russian military was responsible for the murders of civilians in Bucha but I don’t honestly know and, since the Russians have already been found guilty in the media, I doubt we’ll ever really know for sure.
Update
I’m not alone. Reuters reports that the Pentagon can’t confirm it either. I don’t know if it’s true; I don’t know if it’s false. The assumption is that it’s true but it’s just an assumption at this point.
Agree that we will never know for sure, but it is believable as it is similar to fairly recent Russian behavior in Grozny and Afghanistan. Certainly consistent with their heavy use of conscripts.

Is this a White Helmets production?
After invading Russia, will the US be greeted as liberators?
Will the ticker-tape parades be larger than the ones in Iraq?
Do the Russians yearn for freedom?
What about the Ukrainians?
Am I the only one that remembers the lead up to the invasion of Iraq? I give the Bush administration “the benefit of the doubt”. No matter how ridiculous, I do think that they really believed Iraq had WMD’s and Saddam would give them to terrorists.
The engineers of the Iraq invasion are at it, again. Many of them still think it was a good idea. The promoters of the Iraq invasion are at it, again. Few of them have acknowledged their role.
Am I the only one who can remember anything prior to 2016?
