The new day brings more and more reports from the liberated territories about the atrocities of Russian militants during the occupation

In Gostomel, police found 11 civilians killed in a graveyard on Sviatopokrovskaya Street.  Russian snipers "trained" on them, shooting people, after which the dead were put in the garage.

The bodies of people tortured by russian invaders continue to be found in the village of Boromlya in the Okhtyrka district of Sumy region.  One of the men had his face bandaged and his hands tied, and his right leg had lacerations.  The identity of the deceased has not been established yet.

In the Chernihiv region, in the villages of Golintsi, Haivoron, Tereshis and Rubantsi, facts were revealed that racists had shot people and taken children to dig trenches.  In Hryhorivka, russians shot a farmer.

In the village of Novyi Bykiv, where, according to locals, there were military unit “kadyrovs” who took absolutely all food from the villagers.  The occupiers placed military equipment close to the houses.

Peasants in the Chernihiv region under occupation were forced to drink technical water and bake cakes from animal feed.

Terror, cruel and degrading treatment 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 Russia's Military Invasion of Ukraine and the expert mission set up by OSCE participating States under the Moscow Mechanism to take into account these facts of war crimes and human rights violations in Ukraine.
