“We have documented more than 400 Russian war crimes” in Kherson

"We have documented more than 400 Russian war crimes" in Kherson

First modification:

The President of Ukraine, Volodímir Zelensky, assured that his officers found bodies of soldiers but also of civilians in the areas of the Kherson region recaptured by Kiev troops and abandoned by Russia. The president also reported his progress towards “stabilization and restoration of law” in the area.

As always, Ukrainian President Volodimir Zelensky was blunt. “In the Kherson region, the Russian Army left the same atrocities as in other regions of our country,” he lamented.

According to the information he gave in his daily night conference, “investigators have uncovered more than 400 Russian war crimes and have found the bodies of both officers and civilians,” Zelensky said.

The Ukrainian army entered the city of Kherson, the capital of the region with the same name, after the Moscow troops abandoned the only city of this importance that they had managed to capture and after an intense offensive by kyiv.

“Stabilize and restore the law”

After the retaking of Kherson, the Army and the Zelensky government have the arduous task, first of all, of demining the area in order to make it habitable and passable again.

This is especially important given that much of the region’s public infrastructure was destroyed. The city of Kherson has no running water or electricity, so kyiv is speeding up the process of bringing humanitarian aid, such as food and medical supplies, to its residents.

Ukrainian authorities are also working to restore television and radio broadcasts and improve communications in the area.

President Zelenski assured that, in addition, the Army and the police had arrested Russian soldiers and mercenaries. Everything, in favor of “stabilizing and restoring the law.”
