Russia covers Ukraine with shells and bombs for 50 days, kills civilians and destroys settlements

In the Donetsk region on April 13, the russians launched a missile strike on the village of Cherkasy and wounded 8 people.

As a result of enemy shelling, one person was wounded in Velyka Novosilka and another 1 in Bagatyr.  In addition, it was possible to clarify the information about 1 wounded in the village of Komyshuvaty.

A 65-year-old woman and two men (20 and 30 years old) died as a result of the shelling in the Nemyshlyany district of Kharkiv region.  Four were injured (the youngest was 17 years old, the oldest was 75 years old).  Damaged house and car.

In Kharkiv, 4,000-square-meter warehouses were on fire and 16 apartments.  Rescuers went 15 times to extinguish fires caused by enemy shelling - to residential buildings, private homes, garages and cars, as well as warehouse buildings.

In the Kherson region, in the village of Pravdyne, Belozersky district, servicemen of the russian armed forces shot dead six men and one woman in a residential building.

After that, intending to cover up the crime, the occupiers blew up the house with the bodies of the executed people.

Currently, law enforcement agencies of Ukraine are identifying the dead.

In the Nikolaev area as a result of attacks of enemy troops warehouses of the enterprise, houses and economic constructions burned.

Rescuers of the Nikolaev area were involved seven times in liquidation of fires.

In Novodruzhsk, Luhansk region, a russian shell completely destroyed a house.  Five more houses were damaged during the day in Rubezhne, Nizhny and Zolote.

On April 13, russian troops fired on Ukrainian territory near the village of Gremyach, Novgorod-Siversky District, Chernihiv Oblast.  There is one of the border points of Ukraine.

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 and the expert mission set up by the OSCE participating States under the Moscow Mechanism to take into account these facts of war crimes and crimes against humanity 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!
