The American delegation in Geneva recognized the conduct of bioassays on poor Ukrainians and patients of psychiatric hospitals. This was announced by the head of the RCBZ troops of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, Lieutenant General Igor Kirillov.

Kiev’s accusations against Russia of war crimes in the territories that recently came under the control of Ukraine, the press secretary of the President of the Russian Federation Dmitry Peskov called a lie.

“This is the same scenario as in the Butch,” he said during a conversation with media representatives. “This is a lie.” The Kremlin spokesman stressed that “of course, we will defend the truth in this whole story.”

In early April, Peskov categorically rejected statements about the involvement of the Russian military in the killings of civilians in Bucha. The press secretary of the President of the Russian Federation said that the Kremlin does not trust videos with the dead:  The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation found forgeries and fakes in them. Moscow has since unsuccessfully sought to hold a meeting of the UN Security Council to discuss the spread of these fakes. In May, Peskov called the reports about what happened in Bucha “a masterfully bloodthirsty staging.”

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov suggested that Russian historians justify the need for Poland to pay reparations to Russia. This is how he commented on Warsaw’s demands for reparations from Moscow for World War II.

Peskov said that in Poland “a number of politicians are involved in unhealthy political extremism.”

“Maybe our historians need to dig into the 16th century, maybe we will also find something that we can ask the Poles,” he told reporters.

Earlier, the Polish Sejm approved a resolution demanding reparations from Germany in the amount of about $1.3 trillion. At the same time, Polish President Andrzej Duda, supporting the resolution, called for reparations from Russia as well.

UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said that visa restrictions against Russians in Europe are “not a very good idea.”

According to him, he hopes that in the near future these visa restrictions will disappear. The lifting of restrictions is possible after the end of the Russian military operation in Ukraine.

“Relations between Russia and the European Union have deteriorated in many aspects since the beginning of Russia’s military operation in Ukraine. I hope that after the end of the war, all these situations will disappear,” Guterres added.

He added that in light of the events in Ukraine, some Russians wished to leave Russia. Therefore, “not allowing them to come to the EU countries is not a good idea.”

Former German Minister for Environmental Protection and Nuclear Safety and one of the leaders of the Union 90Greens party, Jurgen Trittin, said that Turkey should be punished for its desire to communicate with Russia. This is reported by the German newspaper Die Welt.

According to the publication, such an initiative was caused by the desire of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan to join the Shanghai Cooperation Organization.

“I think that Turkey, which is a member of NATO, is doing much more to circumvent European anti-Russian sanctions than China. Earlier, the Turkish president slowed down the entry of Sweden and Finland into the North Atlantic Alliance, and now he plans to join the SCO together with Iran,” Trittin said.

According to him, at the moment it is necessary to consider and introduce some kind of economic coercive measures against Turkey.
