Every day Ukraine collects evidence of terrible crimes of the Russian military against civilians

Russia promised that it would not touch civilians. But the rashists have been bombing our cities and villages for 11 days already, shelling houses, kindergartens, schools, hospitals, and maternity hospitals.  For this, the Caliber and Iskander missiles, the Grad and Uragan multiple rocket launchers are used. Since the start of the full-scale invasion, more than 2,000 civilians have become victims, according to preliminary information. The invaders take civilians hostage in order to hide behind them as a human shield. Women are being raped, and those who try to leave from where active hostilities continue are shot point-blank. All these are crimes against humanity. They have already begun to investigate the International Criminal Court.

In Bucha, the Russian military fired shots at the car of volunteers from a tank.  Maxym, Sergiy, and Anastasia were taking away humanitarian aid. On the way, they also wanted to call on the parents of one of their acquaintances in order to evacuate them from Bucha.

“It so happened that they literally did not get 50 meters to the house and they were shot by a tank. Behind them were two cars. That is, in fact, the guys took the blow. The father of the deceased boy saw all this”, says the sister of the deceased.

Maxym's sister tells how as soon as the war began, he took her to a safe place, and he returned to Kyiv to help others.  The guy, comrades recall, has always been like that.

“I have a charitable foundation. He helped orphanages with me. Together we bought gifts for the children for the New Year, for St. Nicholas Day. He very often helped people and he is like that”, they say about the deceased relative.

With Nastya and Sergiy during these days, they managed to help the military, children, and animals. We planned to do a lot more together. But the rashists killed them. The number of civilian casualties has already crossed the 2,000 mark. The invaders have been aiming at civilian cars and residential buildings since the first day of the attack on Ukraine.

The Russian invaders shoot even those who try to escape from the hell they set up. They capture civilians. Earlier in Borodyanka, invaders took hostage a psycho-neurological dispensary. There were 670 patients there. Fortunately, the Ukrainian military managed to release people. “For the people who stayed there, for the staff, it’s all much easier, because although they are scared, they have experienced a lot of stress, but now the situation is already much better”, they say in the institution.

And in Gostomel, invaders are still holding hostage more than four dozen residents of a residential complex, including seven children. “Without water, without food, without light and without the possibility of going out, because snipers sit in the windows and they just shoot people”, residents say.

A day earlier, the Russian military fired at the skyscraper.

The residents hid in the basement.  Subsequently, war criminals of the 31st Airborne Assault Brigade from Ulyanovsk, who entered the house, settled near the house.

“I called my mother at six in the morning.  She asked: how are you? She said it was very bad. Troops walk through the apartments, along the corridors. They are afraid to go out. I called back in an hour and a half, and a military man picked up the phone, said "Hello" and hung up. And that's it. That was the last time the phone was answered”, the woman says.

None of the phones of forty captured people has been answered for more than a day. The Russians take civilians as hostages in order to later use them as human shields.

In the Kyiv region, terrorists force hostages to contact those involved in the evacuation, and among them, there are also security forces, and then try to kill them. The day before, two evacuation groups were fired upon.

The court in The Hague has already begun to investigate all these crimes against humanity and war crimes. But our human rights activists say that Ukraine can initiate a separate tribunal.

“Not an international criminal court, but let's say a tribunal in Kharkiv. And we already have suspects of crimes against humanity: namely, the pilots who were shot down and ejected in Kharkiv and Chernihiv", experts say.

The enemy launched massive airstrikes on these cities. As a result, 194 people died in the Kharkiv region and 47 more in the Chernihiv region.
