Rashist aircraft and artillery kill peaceful Ukrainians every day and destroy homes

Yesterday, the army of the aggressor country fired at the town of Orikhiv and the village of Preobrazhenka in the Pologiv district of the Zaporizhia region with the use of "Hail" multiple rocket launchers and artillery.

They fired on civilian homes and civilian infrastructure.  Among the victims is a child.  A 14-year-old girl with injuries is currently being taken to hospital.

Yesterday, 13 civilians were killed in shelling in Kharkiv.

On April 18, four more civilians were killed in russian shelling in the Donetsk region: two in Torezk, 1 in Shandryhalovo, and 1 in Rozdolne.  Another 5 were injured.

In the Avdiivka district, the occupiers tried to go on the offensive, as a result of which the city was subjected to heavy shelling, one person was killed, civilian infrastructure was damaged, and the gas pipeline was cut off.

In the Luhansk region, 12 more houses were destroyed by enemy bombing.  The most destruction was in Kreminna yesterday.  Two houses were demolished to the ground after direct hits by russian shells.  The enemy shoots at high-rises, realizing that there are still people there.

In Rubizhne, the russians aimed at the apartment.  Fortunately, the owner of the house was rescued - he had numerous shrapnel wounds.  A car came under fire near Severodonetsk.  Rescuers were able to tow him to safety in a timely manner and evacuate people.

Russian occupiers fired artillery at Nikolaev on the night of Tuesday, April 19, as a result of which there was a fire of the apartment house and shop in the regional center.

Kherson region: explosions and shelling throughout the region.  There is currently no information on the destruction and 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 Russia's 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!
