Ukraine’s State Bureau of Investigations (SBI) announced that it had begun conducting a “filtration” of civilians in Balakleya, the town in Kharkov Region reportedly taken by forces of the Kiev government.

“The purpose of the measures is to prevent the subversive activities of the Russians and their allies,” the SBI saidon social media. “The time of reckoning has come.”

Ukraine had charged the town’s mayor with treason in April, accusing him of collaborating with Russian troops and helping them distribute humanitarian aid.

      Whatever happened to that btw? One day it's all over the news, then it's suddenly gone.

        The media silence on Bucha since around May makes it pretty clear to me that the narrative served its purpose in April, or it wasn't possible to keep the story going without people starting to realize too much was wrong about it.

            Russians withdrawn, civilians leave their homes, Ukraine bombs the town killing some people (probably because they did not know about the retreat), they blame Russia for the bombardment despite clear evidences of the bombardment being from Ukraine side. Bucha Mayor publicly express happiness in the internet. Then UA troops enter, special detachment is send to do a purge, they do purge murdering people, then of course they blame Russia. In next few days entire UA story is debunked, but they push for it hard, two weeks later complete silence and now it is mentioned as unfalsifable dogma by libs and other rightoids.
