russian troops deliberately terrorize and kill civilians in Ukraine, violating the international humanitarian law.
Source. This was reported by Ukrinform with reference to a statement of Barbara Woodward, the British Permanent Representative to the UN, during a meeting of the Security Council.
Details. “The truth is not only that civilians are dying during russia's brutal illegal war, but also that russia is deliberately waging a war to kill and terrorize the Ukrainian people,” Woodward said.
She cited the examples of Bucha and Irpin, where the russian military “were killing and dismembering civilians.” “No distinction was made between military targets, hospitals, schools or the Mariupol theater, in front of which was clearly written “children”,” – said the diplomat, emphasizing that russia's actions are “an indisputable violation of international humanitarian law.”
Woodward also denounced russian propaganda efforts to “dehumanize and demonize Ukrainians by calling them neo-Nazis.”
“Such a hate speech is very dangerous. And as the anniversary of the end of World War II approaches, it despises the victims of russians, Ukrainians and many other nationalities who fought to destroy Nazism,” she said.
