Russian forces retreated last week from the Kyiv suburbs, leaving behind a trail of destruction. After graphic images emerged of civilians lying dead in the streets of Bucha, U.S. and European officials accused Russian troops of committing war crimes.

Moscow doesn't believe Kyiv's claims of civilian deaths in Ukraine caused by Russian forces, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Wednesday.
"We don't believe the Ukrainian Prosecutor General's Office. Russian troops are carrying out no strikes, aren't firing on civilians," Peskov told reporters during a daily call. "Russian servicemen are helping civilians and, regrettably, more and more eyewitnesses get out of the cities saying that they are being held there as human shields, and that nationalist battalions are firing -- and there are plenty of such cases -- on civilians."
