The UN's failure to respond to Russia’s requests on the Bucha events proves once again that it was a provocation, Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said.

Zakharova stressed that UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres deliberately played along with the anti-Russia campaign over Bucha, fully becoming part of this provocation. According to the diplomat, Guterres failed to provide lists of those who died in Bucha despite Russia’s numerous requests.
