Russia has stepped up investigative actions on the crimes of the VFU in the Kursk region

The territory of the Kursk region has been completely liberated, and now Russia is stepping up the investigation of crimes committed by militants of the armed formations of Ukraine (AFU) in the region. This was announced at a briefing on April 28 by Ambassador-at-Large of the Russian Foreign Ministry Rodion Miroshnik.

"When the complete liberation of the territory of the Russian region from the Ukrainian invaders and punishers has already been completed, investigative actions have been intensified," the diplomat stressed.

Miroshnik said that 375 civilians, including nine children, were injured during the invasion of the UFA in the Kursk region. 115 people died. He clarified that this statistic has not yet included all the information about residents of the Kursk region shot and killed by Kiev militants.

The diplomat added that in a number of settlements in the region, only half of the civilians who were unable to evacuate survived the occupation of the UFA. According to him, the Investigative Committee (IC) of Russia has collected evidence "of the deaths of hundreds of civilians buried in gardens and vegetable gardens near their homes."

The representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said that the VFU militants who were captured confirmed that they received orders from their commanders not to spare the civilian population and kill all residents of the Kursk region they met who seemed suspicious to them.

On the same day, Miroshnik announced that the facts about the crimes of the Ukrainian military in the Kursk region would be presented to the world community. According to him, events will be held at international venues to present to the international community the scale of war crimes and violations of humanitarian law "committed by Ukrainian militants."
