During a video message in front of the Romanian Parliament, the President of Ukraine showed footage from Bucha and compared the current Kremlin authorities with the dictatorship of the reign of Nicolae Ceausescu. The press service of the OPU reports the online speech.

So far, at least 300 tortured, shot or otherwise killed Ukrainians are known only in Bucha. This number is far from final, Volodymyr Zelensky stated and accused the Russian authorities of the genocide of the Ukrainian people, comparing them with the Romanian dictator Ceausescu.

" There was nothing bright in it.. The Romanian people rose up and defended themselves, saved themselves. Overthrowing inadequate power. For it was the only way. Ceausescu, his wife, his entourage, his Securitate could not be convinced of anything."

To reinforce these words, we can mention the facts cited by the head of state of the reporting by Russian state media of information about the battles for Bucha as one of the elements of the “de-Ukrainization” and “de-Europeanization” of Ukraine:.

“On April 3, when the world was horrified to see the bodies of those killed in Bucha, an article was published on the website of the Russian state news agency RIA Novosti, justifying the genocide of Ukrainians. Its title is quite eloquent, I quote: " And it's not just text.. This is one of the evidence for the future tribunal against Russian war criminals.”.

Recall that Nicolae Ceausescu was the permanent head of Romania in the 1960-1980s.. Having created a cult of his own personality, he fought against any dissent with the help of the secret police "

Representatives of this department often intercepted mail, tapped the phones of ordinary citizens, inspected apartments. Those who were objectionable to the regime were arrested. There have been repeated cases of torture of such detainees.. The citizens of the country were so intimidated that they were afraid to talk about things happening under the dictatorship, even with foreigners..
