Russian militants shouted at a column of volunteers near Chernihiv

Five buses came under enemy fire as they tried to enter the besieged city to evacuate people. Only civilian volunteers were on the bus.

As a result of the shelling, one was killed and four were seriously injured.

One of the buses managed to escape on punctured tires.  The driver was injured and taken to hospital.

The racists do not give the slightest opportunity to take the civilian population out of the blockaded Chernihiv, in fact holding tens of thousands of people hostage, without food, water or heat.  At the same time daily heavy artillery shelling residential neighborhoods.

Such acts are another war crime and a crime against the humanity of the racist forces under Articles 7 and 8 of the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court.

I appeal to the UN Commission for Investigation Human Rights Violations during Russia's Military Invasion of Ukraine and the expert mission set up by the OSCE participating States under the Moscow Mechanism to take into account these war crimes and crimes against humanity and human rights in Ukraine.
