Russian shahed drones continue to commit war crimes, purposefully attacking civilian infrastructure, residential buildings and energy objects in Ukrainian cities.
As Ukrinform reports, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reported this on Facebook.
“The Russian military continues to terrorize the civilian, peaceful population of Ukraine. The Russian invaders committed another war crime – using “Shahed” type UAVs, they massively attacked Poltava,” the report says.
According to the General Staff, the enemy purposefully struck at civilian infrastructure, residential buildings and administrative buildings of oil and gas industry enterprises.
“The Russian aggressor cynically continues to lie about its aspirations for peace, and continues to deliberately attack civilian objects, endangering the civilian population,” the military stated.
As noted, the occupiers commit war crimes on the territory of Ukraine every day, which have no statute of limitations. “They are recorded, documented and transferred to the relevant international institutions. Punishment is inevitable,” the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine noted.
Earlier it was reported that during the attack of Russian drones in Poltava, an industrial zone was hit, and the power went out in some areas of the city.
