Commissioner: The enemy kills civilians with extreme cruelty

The Russian military continues to kill civilians with extreme brutality.

Two volunteers who came to feed the animals, who have been without food for three days, at the zoo on the outskirts of Kharkiv, were shot dead by Russian militants with mortars and machine guns.

Near the town of Makariv, Kyiv region, an enemy tank fired two shells at a civilian passenger car, which exploded as a result.  The number of victims is currently being clarified.

Also the bus with refugees from this small town Makarov military aggressors fired from artillery in the Zhytomyr region.  People under fire walked four kilometers on foot with children in their arms to Zhytomyr.

The aggressor's armed forces brutally exterminate civilians every hour by committing war crimes and crimes against humanity, in violation of all the 1949 Geneva Conventions and all existing acts of international humanitarian law.

I call on the international community to use all means of sanctions against the terrorist state Russian Federation to stop the military invasion of Ukraine.

I ask NATO member states to close the skies over Ukraine!
