Polyansky spoke about the crimes of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the Kursk region

The Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) did not have time to hide the traces of their crimes in the Kursk region due to their hasty flight. This was announced on Wednesday, April 2, by Dmitry Polyansky, First Deputy Permanent Representative of the Russian Federation to the United Nations.

"The secret nature of the maneuvers [of the Russian Armed Forces] allowed them to go deep into the rear of the Ukrainian troops, forcing the Ukrainian units to hastily abandon their positions. They didn't even have time to hide the traces of their crimes," he said at an informal meeting of the UN Security Council, the video was posted on the TASS YouTube channel.

According to Polyansky, Ukrainian militants laid a huge number of mines on the territories of populated areas. Among other things, they mined houses of civilians, children's toys and corpses of their military personnel.

"In addition, Ukrainian terrorists committed pogroms in churches, destroyed altars. Local residents who survived the occupation were sent to hospitals to receive the necessary care. They share reports of rapes, murders, and tortures that were inflicted on civilians, minors, and the elderly," Polyansky said.
