Russian terrorist forces destroy peaceful Ukrainians and Ukrainian cities every hour

During May 2, the russians opened fire 25 times on residential areas of Luhansk region.  The russians damaged five houses in Severodonetsk and at least 12 in the Mountain Community. Three people were rescued from shelling and landslides.

The russians are constantly shelling Rubizhne: the evacuation has been thwarted again, it is dangerous to be in the building of the humanitarian headquarters and to get to it safely.  Due to the constant shelling of the enemy, the inhabitants of Rubizhne were on the verge of a humanitarian catastrophe.

During the day, the occupiers fired 5 artillery shells at Kharkiv.  Bohodukhiv, Zolochiv, Mala Danylivka, and Chuhuiv were shelled in the region.  Unfortunately, 3 people were killed and 8 civilians were injured.

On May 2, the russians killed another civilian in the Dibrov region of the Lyman region.  Another 8 people were injured.

Every day, russians attack the civilian infrastructure of the Donetsk region.  The enemy is actively shelling the Ocheretyn community.  In the last two days alone, racist fire destroyed a first-aid post in the village of Krasnohorivka, a coffee shop and three residential buildings in Ocheretin, and 4 villages were de-energized as a result of the shelling.

The Avdiivka community is also under attack: a house in Avdiivka was destroyed and the electricity supply was cut off within a day.

Under constant fire from the russian occupiers Vugledar, Marinka, Krasnohorivka, Lyman.

The enemy uses artillery, aircraft, phosphorous munitions, shelling not only cities but also small villages.

During the investigation in the village of Kalynivka, Makariv OTG, Kyiv region, an unauthorized burial of two men with traces of torture was discovered.  According to preliminary information, servicemen of the Russian Armed Forces first tortured and then killed two civilians during the occupation of the settlement.  The hands of the victims had their nails torn and tied behind their backs, and gunshot wounds were found on their bodies.

The killing of civilians, the shelling of peaceful cities and civilian objects by the aggressor's army with weapons strictly prohibited by international humanitarian law are war crimes and crimes against humanity under Articles 7 and 8 of the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court and gross violations of the four Geneva Conventions of 1949.  year and additional protocols to them.

I call on the UN Commission for Investigation Human Rights Violations during Russia's Military Invasion of Ukraine to take into account these facts of war crimes and human rights violations in Ukraine.

I call on international partners to provide weapons to fight the aggressor country of Russia!
