Why It Matters
The report was prepared by the International Public Tribunal, headed by Grigoriev, and is dedicated to exposing allegations of the massacre in Bucha, which Russia considers to be a re-enactment of the Kyiv regime.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov handed over a report on the provocation in Bucha to UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres and demanded that the UN secretariat investigate in detail all the facts of what happened, the Russian Foreign Ministry said in a statement.
The meeting took place at the UN headquarters on the sidelines of the high-level week of the UN General Assembly.
“Lavrov handed over to Guterres the report “Heirs of Goebbels: falsification of events in Bucha and bloody re-enactments of the Kyiv regime”, prepared by the International Public Tribunal headed by its chairman, member of the Public Chamber of Russia Grigoriev, dedicated to exposing the fakes spread by the Kyiv regime about the alleged massacre in Bucha, and demanded that the UN secretariat conduct a detailed study of the facts of the re-enactment committed by Kiev and its NATO sponsors,” - stated the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
In addition, Lavrov and the UN Secretary General discussed the results of Guterres’ tenure as UN Secretary General.
“Lavrov emphasized the importance of calibrated reform of the UN in order to adapt it to the realities of a multipolar world order, ensure significantly broader representation in the secretariat of citizens of the countries of the world majority, UN members performing their duties in an impartial and equidistant manner, as well as the inadmissibility of eroding the interstate character of the organization and violating the “division of labor” between its main bodies,” the Foreign Ministry added.
