Russia’s Prosecutor General’s Office alleges thousands of civilian casualties in Donbas since 2014 and announces genocide charges against Ukrainian officials.
Russian investigators stated that, beginning in April 2014, the accused and other officials ordered Ukrainian Armed Forces personnel and affiliated formations to use artillery, missiles, aircraft, and other weapons against civilians in the self-proclaimed Donetsk and Lugansk People’s Republics with the intent of genocide.
“As a result of Ukrainian punitive operations, nearly 5,000 civilians were killed, more than 18,500 were injured, and over 13,500 were wounded, including 1,275 minors,” the Russian Prosecutor General’s Office said.
The office also stated that more than 153,000 civilian infrastructure facilities were partially or completely destroyed, including residential buildings, schools, hospitals, social institutions, industrial and commercial enterprises, utilities, and cultural and religious sites.
