She also alleged that Wadephul covered the report with his notebook. The German side\u2019s response to that allegation was not available.<\/p>\n<p>Although Zakharova presented the report as evidence, her conclusion about Bucha conflicts with United Nations findings. A 2022 investigation by the UN Human Rights Office documented the killing of civilians in areas of Ukraine under Russian military control. Russia has rejected accusations against its forces over the events in Bucha.<\/p>\n<p>Zakharova\u2019s comments again brought into focus the deep disagreement between Moscow and Western countries over Bucha. The claims made in the report, as well as the allegation about Wadephul\u2019s handling of it, have not been independently verified.<\/p>\n<div class=\"fb-background-color\">\n\t\t\t  <div \n\t\t\t  \tclass = \"fb-comments\" \n\t\t\t  \tdata-href = \"https:\/\/eng.dragonmedia.com.np\/?p=26295\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-numposts = \"10\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-lazy = \"true\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-colorscheme = \"light\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-order-by = \"time\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-mobile=true>\n\t\t\t  <\/div><\/div>\n\t\t  <style>\n\t\t    .fb-background-color {\n\t\t\t\tbackground: #ffffff !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t.fb_iframe_widget_fluid_desktop iframe {\n\t\t\t    width: 100% !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t  <\/style>\n\t\t  ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dragon Media News Desk Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova said a report on the events in Bucha was placed on the table during a meeting between Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul.
