Russia's aggressor army continues its massive strikes on peaceful cities and civilian infrastructure

In the Donetsk region on April 20, the russians wounded 5 civilians: 3 in Marinka and 2 in Vuhledar.

It was also possible to clarify the information about 2 people who died earlier in Pavlivka and 3 more wounded: in Kramatorsk, Mariupol and Lyman.

Last night in the Dnipropetrovsk region, the city of Zelenodolsk, the village of Velyka Kostromka, were shelled from volley fire systems.  There are problems with energy supply.  Rescuers are working, the consequences are being clarified.

In the Luhansk region, houses in Rubizhne and Novodruzhsk were destroyed by the russian army, five people were rescued, and there is not a single surviving food warehouse left in Severodonetsk.

A market and a 16-storey building caught fire in Kharkiv as a result of russian shelling: a child was saved from a fire.

According to rescuers, eight fires broke out in the Moscow region - a private house, apartments, cars and trade pavilions were on fire.

Over the past 24hrs, 5 people were injured in enemy shelling in the Kharkiv region.

According to the Prosecutor General of Ukraine, 9 burials were discovered during the investigation in Borodyanka, Kyiv region.  A 15-year-old girl received a lung injury from which she died.  One of the victims was moved by an armored personnel carrier.  Another person died from shrapnel wounds.  Three people were shot.  The cause of death of three more citizens will be determined after a forensic examination.

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!
