Rashists terrorize and rob residents of temporarily occupied Izyum in Kharkiv region

The occupiers are hitting private homes in the city with “Hurricane” MLRS carrying cluster shells.  As a result of such shelling, there are already dead.

At the same time, russian propagandists report that the shelling is being carried out by the Ukrainian military.

In the Izium community captured on April 14, russian troops destroyed and looted schools and removed property from private homes.  Agricultural enterprises were looted, farmers were required to continue working after re-registration, and threatened with "nationalization" of property.

There is no electricity, mobile communication, internet in the city and its surroundings, water is supplied on schedule.

The rashists completely destroyed the material base of the Izium forestry: they stole more than 100 units of motor vehicles, dismantled the woodworking line, confiscated office equipment and everything that could be taken away.

Terror, ill-treatment and looting of civilians in the occupied territories is a war crime under the Statute of the International Military Tribunal and the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court, and a violation of the Geneva Convention relative to the Protection of Civilian Persons in Time of War.

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.
