As a result of shelling of racists of the residential quarter of Nikolaev by cluster munitions by the «Tornado» system - 5 dead civilians, 15 are wounded, from them four in a serious condition.  The occupiers also hit the city post office.

As a result of the rocket fire of the «Hurricane» volley fire system of the Industrial District of Kharkiv, 35 people were injured, including 3 children.  10 people died, including one child of seven months age.

Today, a rocket attack on Kharkiv claimed the life of 2 person, 18 were injured.

In the Luhansk region in the city of Severodonetsk, russian terrorists struck at civilian infrastructure.  Damaged large diameter water supply.  The water is cut off in the city.  Two food warehouses were also shelled.  Severodonetsk is almost 70% destroyed, the city has about 20 thousand citizens out of 130 thousand who lived there before the war.

In Lysychansk, a couple of volunteers came under fire.  A man died, a woman in intensive care.  From the first days of the war, they delivered humanitarian aid to the townspeople.

In total, the Luhansk region has suffered 26 shellings in the last 24 hours.

On April 15, in the town of Vasylivka, Zaporizhia Oblast, the occupiers fired on a critical infrastructure facility.  As a result, local treatment facilities were damaged.  It is currently impossible to make repairs - all approaches to the object are mined.

In Dnipropetrovsk region at night the enemy hit a missile in the object of economic infrastructure.  Buildings destroyed.

Poltava region: late in the evening an enemy missile hit a farm in one of the villages of the region.  There is destruction of buildings.  One person died and another was injured.

Russian troops launched a missile strike on the airfield of Alexandria, Kirovograd region on the evening of April 15.  Emergency and rescue operations are underway, there are casualties.

The killing of civilians, shelling of civilian cities and civilian objects by the aggressor army is war crimes and crimes against humanity under Articles 7 and 8 of the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court and gross violation of the four Geneva Conventions of 1949 and its Additional Protocols.

I appeal to the UN Commission for Investigation  Human Rights Violations during the Russian Military Invasion of Ukraine to take into account these facts of crimes and human rights violations in Ukraine.

I call on international partners to close the skies over Ukraine and provide weapons to fight the aggressor country of Russia!
