According to the Ukrainian Ministry of Defence, Russian troops who were involved in the horrific war crimes committed in Bucha are currently being dispatched back to the front lines in western Ukraine, Your Content has learned.
The 64th Motorised Rifle Brigade is suspected to be responsible for the atrocities in Bucha. After departing Bucha last week, the troops are now en route to Belgorod in western Russia.
Ukraine claims that they will be deployed on April 8 to the front lines, potentially in Kharkiv. The motive behind sending these troops is believed to be their elimination, preventing them from providing testimony at future war crime tribunals, according to NPR.
