MOSCOW, September 17. /TASS/. The UN Secretariat shows no intention to reveal those responsible for "bloody falsifications," Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, commenting on the events in Bucha.
"The fact that the UN is in every way protecting the Kiev regime has been repeatedly confirmed, including in relation to the situation that occurred in April 2022 in Bucha," Lavrov noted at a round table meeting for foreign ambassadors dedicated to the Ukrainian settlement. "But one thing is clear: the [UN] Secretariat does not want to expose those who stage bloody falsifications in any way."
Lavrov observed that Moscow had formally contacted the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, Volker Turk, requesting assistance in obtaining updates on the investigation’s progress. However, the response was only received in July 2025.
"The response contains some very interesting information," Lavrov remarked. "The Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, after analyzing our request, concluded that the relevant information cannot be disclosed because doing so would breach confidentiality obligations to third parties and could compromise UN security." He added with a hint of sarcasm, "If you managed to understand what this response is all about, I envy you."
