A solitary protest took place in Moscow in memory of the victims of the atrocities of Russian soldiers in Bucha.

The action was carried out by an unknown activist who was photographed in various areas of the Russian capital lying on the floor with his hands tied with a white ribbon; in this position, many civilians allegedly killed by the Russians were found in Bucha, near Kiev.

Under the title “Bucha-Moscow”, the activist held his protest in busy areas of Moscow: in the Alexander Gardens, on the bridge near the Cathedral of Christ the Savior, on Nikolskaya Street and on the pedestrian Arbat Street.

In this way, he tried to convey to the residents of the Russian capital, who like all Russian citizens are subject to the Kremlin's censorship of the conflict, information about what happened in the Kiev region when the Russian army occupied it.

It is unknown at the moment whether the activist was arrested.

US President Joe Biden said Monday that he wants a “war crimes trial” in Ukraine. On Tuesday, Ukrainian President Volodymir Zelensky called on the UN Security Council to “hold Russia accountable” for “war crimes.”
