14 марта 2022

Today a residential area of Donetsk was hit with a Tochka-U missile. The missile with cluster charge was fired from territories under the control of the nationalist Kiev regime. The use of such weapons against a city, which has no firing positions of armed forces is a war crime, said the Russian Defense Ministry.

Igor Konashenkov, an official representative of the Russian Ministry of Defense:

I draw your attention to the fact that the decision to use this type of missile weapon is taken by the command of the Ukrainian military formations, at least after approval by the authorities of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in Kiev. This once again proves the Nazi and anti-human nature of the current ruling regime in Ukraine. 

The Investigation Committee of Russia has opened a criminal case about forbidden methods of warfare identifies the Ukrainian military, who gave an illegal order to use a missile against civilians.

The successful operation to unblock Mariupol made it possible to open humanitarian corridors for civilians to enter and begin the mass evacuation of the population, which for a long time had been in the hands of the neo-Nazis. According to the city council, more than 160 vehicles left Mariupol today via a humanitarian corridor, when the ceasefire was observed.
