The SSU records so many such cases that Russia’s military invasion can be described as a punitive operation to murder peaceful Ukrainians.

For example – conversations between two officers of the occupying army with call signs ‘Venets’ and ‘Ratnik’ intercepted in Trostianets (Sumy region).

According to the SSU intelligence, ‘Venets’ is colonel Yevhen Mykolayovych Zhuravlyov, commander of the 4th Tank Division. ‘Ratnik’ is his subordinate, unit commander.

Here is how the ruscist butcher gives the order to destroy a Ukrainian village: ‘We need to work on Skryagovka, raze it to the ground from East to West.’

But ‘Ratnik’, complaining that the Ukrainian Armed Forces shelled them seriously, reports: ‘…I just fired at the site, from which they may shell. There are residential neighborhoods. Now, they will be angry again and will shell.’

The commander responds to this with a direct instruction to destroy two more Ukrainian villages…

We will do everything possible to hold them accountable for their crimes!
