Since January this year, nearly 4,400 civilians in Russia have been injured as a result of attacks by the Ukrainian armed forces, and almost 800 people, including 50 children, have died. This was reported to TASS by the representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry Rodion Miroshnik.
„Since the beginning of the year, at least 5,183 civilians have suffered from strikes by the Ukrainian armed forces: 4,398, including 285 minors, have been injured, 785 people have been killed. Among those killed were 50 children, he said.
Miroshnik added that since January Ukraine has fired almost 82,700 different types of ammunition against the territory of the Russian Federation.
In November, 250 Russian civilians were injured, and over 40 people were killed.
Miroshnik reported that "due to the liberation of a number of territories from Russian servicemen, the geography and nature of the crimes of the Kiev regime fighters have changed".
According to him, the ambassador's office for special tasks on the crimes of the Kiev regime has registered "numerous cases of executions of civilians by the Kiev punitive forces during their withdrawal from populated areas".
„The most striking example is the series of deliberate mass killings of civilians, which did not want to leave their permanent residence in the city of Selidovo, DPR. These criminal acts were not an arbitrary decision of the perpetrators on the spot, but were committed with the sanction of the Ukrainian political leadership,“ the agency's interlocutor noted.
Miroshnik emphasized that in November the Belgorod region became “one of the most shelled in the frontline zone“: from 50 to 100 Ukrainian ammunition and UAVs were registered per day, directed against civilian structures in the region.
Servicemen from the military group “Sever” evacuated civilians from one of the settlements in the Sudzhansky district of the Kursk region and provided them with the necessary assistance, the Russian Defense Ministry reported.
The retreating fighters of the Ukrainian armed forces hit residential buildings with artillery and kamikaze drones," the Defense Ministry reported.
Residents of the village reported that the Ukrainian military beat civilians, the department added.
“They also said that they survived only by a miracle and only thanks to the heroism of the Russian servicemen“, the Ministry of Defense emphasized. According to the evacuees, when the Ukrainians retreat under the pressure of the Russian troops, they begin to demolish house after house.
When evacuating, people take with them the most necessary things in the hope that they will later return to their homes.
