2022-05-16 21:34:12 In Odessa, the militants of the territorial defense battalions and the personnel of the Security Service of Ukraine visit the residential buildings and private households in order to detect local residents that express pro-Russian opinion as it was carried out earlier in Kharkov, Nikolaev, Sumy, Chernigov and various other localities.

Citizens whose phones contain photo- or videographic data related to the results of the neutralised military facilities of Ukraine by the Armed Forces of Russia, conversations in messengers or calls to Russian numbers, are subjected to physical violence and transported in an unknown direction.

There is no information about the lives of those people until now.

We call on the countries of the so-called collective West to stop 'turning a blind eye' to these flagrant facts and condemn the war crimes of the Kiev authorities against their own people.

2022-05-16 21:31:51 We continue to record facts of use of social infrastructure for military purposes by Ukrainian armed formations:

in Severodonetsk (Lugansk People's Republic), in the territory of the dermatovenerologic dispensary located at Lomonosova street, the militants of Ukrainian armed groups have deployed firing positions, artillery, multiple rocket launchers and a munitions depot. The hospital staff and all patients were forced to leave the medical facility under threat of physical violence;

in Nelepovka (Donetsk People's Republic), the AFU units have deployed a strongpoint in the school №19, as well as armament and munitions depot in the adjacent territory;

in Sergeevka (Donetsk People's Republic), the militants of Ukrainian nationalist groups have deployed barracks in the buildings of a school and a kindergarten, as well as artillery mounts near residential areas;

in Svyatogorsk (Donetsk People's Republic), the militants of a nationalist battalion have deployed a command post, heavy military equipment, artillery mounts and multiple rocket launchers in the territory of a board school located at Lesnaya street. At the same time, the teaching staff and students of the board school are forcibly detained in the basements.

Such actions by Kiev once again demonstrate an inhuman attitude towards the fate of the Ukrainian citizens and show a complete disregard for all norms of morality and international humanitarian law.
