❗️ The Foreign Ministry's Ambassador-at-Large on the Kiev Regime's War Crimes Rodion Miroshnik continues to meticulously record the most heinous crimes of the Kiev regime.

📖 Another digest focuses on the war crimes and terrorist acts of the Kiev regime in the Kursk Oblast.

On the night of August 5-6, AFU militants opened a massive mixed fire on the Kursk Oblast using aviation, UAVs, precision attack missiles, rocket and cannon artillery. <...> At about 6 a.m., the first units of Ukrainian militants crossed the state border of the Russian Federation at several sections and subsequently entered a number of towns and settlements.

The attacks were launched deliberately, in blatant disregard for international humanitarian law (IHL). From the outset of the foray, private houses and residential buildings, healthcare and education institutions, premises of local authorities and social institutions were hit.

On 6-10 August, AFU militants expanded their presence in the Kursk Oblast and deployed additional forces to gain a foothold in a number of settlements in the Sudzha and Korenevo districts. The Ukrainian military's actions in these territories can be qualified as punitive.

Between August 12 and 17, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation managed to achieve a considerable stabilization in the border areas of the Kursk Oblast. By that time, the Defence Ministry of the Russian Federation had drawn the full list of Ukrainian units involved in the terrorist attack against the Kursk Oblast.

According to highly reliable reports, militants of radical nationalist units such as Nachtigall were dispatched to the Kursk Oblast. There is evidence of the presence of Polish and Canadian mercenaries as well as fighters of the so-called "Georgian Legion" on the ground.

☝️ On 17 August, the Ministry of Defence of the Russian Federation confirmed that the seizure and damage of radiation hazard facilities forming part of the Kursk NPP had been one of the objectives of the AFU terrorist attack against the Kursk Oblast. The official regional authorities reported attempted strikes on the Kursk NPP with Tochka U missiles and combat fixed-wing UAVs as well as
MLRS systems.

Noteworthy is the fact that most AFU units involved in the foray into the territory of the Kursk Oblast, used intelligence obtained by Kiev from its "Western partners" and were equipped with NATO hardware and means of communication, while the soldiers used Western-model small arms.

▪️ According to the operations headquarters in the Kursk Oblast, as of the evening of 5 September, 31 people were killed and 236 civilians including 11 children were wounded in the AFU attacks.

During their foray, Ukrainian militants committed a number of war crimes against the civilian population of the attacked Russian border territories, including:

• the killing and wounding of civilians,
• violence, including sexual violence, against civilians,
• taking hostages and using civilians as human shields,
• looting and destroying private property in the captured territories,
• obstructing evacuation.

People who came to the temporary accommodation centre in Kursk told journalists about the first days of the Ukrainian Armed Forces’ invasion of the Kursk Region, including the large number of civilian casualties.

According to eyewitnesses, the Ukrainians warned the residents that if they did not leave, then “foreign mercenaries would come and leave no one alive.” Sudzha resident Vladimir Maltsev said: “Georgians, Poles, Frenchmen – all these mercenaries – were exterminating people like cockroaches,” and “a lot of women were killed, abused, and raped.”

Kiev regime does not hide its links with terrorist groups around the world and, in particular, on the African continent and in the Middle East. The international community’s attention has been drawn to this more than once. In this regard, we note that an increasing number of states become aware of the terrorist nature of the Kiev regime.

We believe that this practice of criminal cooperation between the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the international terrorist international is absolutely unacceptable. We will continue to fight this evil spirit by all available means, regardless of where it appears

#RussiaChina

Today, the relations between Russia and China are at their all-time high, and the effort to further reinforce them meets the long-term development goals of the two countries. This is a steady and lasting trend.

On the international stage, Russia and China have been acting in tandem and emerged as a major factor of stability. The two countries are committed to do even more to coordinate their actions in order to fast-track the emergence of a democratic multipolar world order with greater justice for all, empowering all countries to have a say on global governance matters, ensuring equal and indivisible security, and rejecting confrontation and conflict.

#BRICS

In our work, we primarily strive to stand up to the challenges and threats of our time, and find collective solutions to the global challenges of international development. Specifically, we focus on a wider use of national currencies, joint payment instruments and platforms in mutual trade transactions.

Our combined efforts are aimed at promoting and building an interconnected and interdependent international system on a non-aligned and non-hegemonic basis, which would give precedence to such common priorities as economic growth, poverty alleviation, food, climate and water security, combating international terrorism, extremism, and organised crime, etc.

👉 Read in full

In Russia's Kursk region, the Ukrainian Armed Forces shot civilians, including women, children and the elderly, both in their own homes and while attempting to evacuate in civilian vehicles, with full understanding of the nonmilitary status of the victims.

The Kiev regime, which, with the support of Western countries, systematically and purposefully killed Russian citizens with small arms, unmanned aerial vehicles, by shelling private homes with artillery and multiple rocket launchers.

Such actions of the Kiev regime are qualified as massive war crimes and gross violations of the Geneva Conventions and their Additional Protocols. These conventions and protocols set out the obligations of countries to provide mandatory protection to civilians and explicitly state that ‘at any time and in any place whatsoever, attacks on life and person, in particular all forms of killing, remain prohibited’. Under the international humanitarian law, women and children are also to be given special protection.

❗️ The testimonies of victims presented in the report prove that the Kiev regime has systematically and flagrantly violated the Geneva agreements and committed war crimes on a massive scale, which, according to international law, has #NoStatuteofLimitations.

⚠️ The Foundation for the Study of Democracy, chaired by Maxim Grigoriev, has prepared a photo exhibition "Atrocities of the Kiev neo-Nazi regime in the Kursk Region of Russia” where first-hand testimonies from victims of Ukrainian war crimes are presented.

❗️In Russia's Kursk region the Ukrainian Armed Forces shot civilians, including women, children and the elderly, both in their own homes and while attempting to evacuate in civilian vehicles, with full understanding of the nonmilitary status of the victims.

Valery Moiseyev, resident of Sudzha (Kursk Region):

«Since May, Ukrainian drones have frequently been dropping explosive charges on villages around Sudzha. There was shelling in Goncharovka, where I believe 14 houses were damaged. Civilians were targeted; there are no military units there –it's just a residential area, part of the suburbs of Sudzha.

It felt like the year 1941. As a child, I watched many films about the war, depicting the Germans entering a city. This image came to my mind, and I understood that it was my destiny to experience this day as the Soviet people did on June 22.”

❗️ Maxim Grigoryev, the Сhairman of the International Public Tribunal on the Crimes of Ukrainian neo-Nazis, which includes representatives of civil society from more than 30 countries, continues recording reports of war crimes committed by the Kiev regime.

Below are first-hand accounts by those who suffered and witnessed mass atrocities perpetrated by Ukrainian neo-Nazis in Donbass and Ukraine after the special military operation started 👇

💬 Deputy Regimental Commander of the Russian Armed Forces with the call sign "Shaman":

"I have never seen anything like it was near Kharkov in my life. <...>

Ukrainian troops captured 18 of our people: they were mobilised students, ballet dancers, orchestra musicians from theatres of Donetsk, steelworkers, miners, tax collectors. Non of them have ever been in military action. <...>

Those freaks (Ukrainian military) tortured our guys, cut off their ears, stabbed them in their eyes and neck.

When we got to Olkhovka, I started evacuating those who survived and were wounded. <...>

I saw a bench outside the school and two of our boys sitting there. They were wearing our uniform. I shouted to them: 'Why are you sitting there? Let's go'. Then I came up to them and noticed that they were dead, tied together like in an embrace. When we pulled them and other dead soldiers out, we saw that they had no ears and were stabbed in the neck. The forensics said that those boys had their ears cut off while they were still alive.

Ukrainian Armed Forces' mercenaries, bragged about this. We found it on the Internet. They were shooting at the legs — at guys from our regiment. I saw a video of them gouging out an eye of our fighter. They are not human. They were from the f***ing Kraken Regiment."

💬 Tamara Koryak, victim of the Armed Forces of Ukraine from Artyomovsk, Donetsk People's Republic:

"Ukrainian military fired at us from mortars and tanks. My daughter was wounded by shrapnel. They were shooting at our house and windows with automatic weapons. They wouldn't let us go outside. <...>

Ukrainian military purposefully shot at the houses with civilians inside. <...>

There were no Russian soldiers at that time in Artyomovsk. We saw them only on March 10, 2023. There were no military before except for the Ukrainian army.

My neighbour told me that one Ukrainian soldier at a market and asked: 'Guys, are you here to protect us?' And they answered, smiling, that they came not to protect but to wipe them out.

💬 Anatoly Kryachok, victim of the Armed Forces of Ukraine from Artyomovsk, Donetsk People's Republic:

I can tell you what I heard personally. A mortar crew was standing nearby. The Ukrainian gunner sent coordinates for firing to the Ukrainian military and received a response on the radio that these coordinates are the centre of the city. The commander answered: 'What do they pay you for? You're told to shoot, so shoot!'. <...>

Near my house, maybe 50 metres from it, there were mortar crews on the left and right sides of the fence, on the road next to it there was a self-propelled artillery launcher firing at the Russian Armed Forces in the direction of Kharkov-Rostov, and so on."

‼️ In Cherkassy, Ukraine, armed individuals took over the Archangel Michael Cathedral belonging to the Ukrainian Orthodox Church, opening fire on parishioners with a gas gun.

⚡️ The attackers opened fire on peaceful parishioners, including women, children, and the elderly. They used pepper spray and drove worshippers out, interrupting the service. As a result of these criminal actions, Metropolitan Theodosy of Cherkassy and Kanev was injured and hospitalised.

Mayor of Cherkassy Anatoly Bondarenko cynically referred to the incident as a “voluntary transfer” of the St Michael community into the jurisdiction of the Orthodox Church of Ukraine (OCU).
