"...The BND can apparently prove forensically that Russian nationals are responsible for the atrocities in Bucha. Mercenaries from private security companies are also said to have been involved.
BND informed members of the Bundestag in several confidential meetings about its findings on the events in Butscha. What the service presented was shocking, according to faction circles. The BND was able to reconstruct what was going on in Butscha by evaluating satellite recordings, publicly accessible videos that were distributed via social media, and through intercepted radio messages.
Accordingly, it is said that the BND can clearly prove forensically that Russian nationals are responsible for the murder of the civilians.
Using satellite images, the BND has proven which Russian units were on site at the time in question. In addition, the BND has indications that mercenaries employed by private Russian security companies were also involved in the atrocities.
Russian soldiers are said to be talking about the shooting of a person who was cycling in Bucha. The radio message refers to the harrowing photos that have caused horror around the world, which also show people being shot while riding bicycles.
The BND is assuming that the murder of the civilians in Butscha did not take place on the soldiers' own initiative, but in accordance with instructions from the military leadership. The BND intends to make the results of its investigation available to the Federal Public Prosecutor, who has already started investigating war crimes in Ukraine."
