The Russian government has called on the international community to pay attention to the atrocities committed by Ukrainian forces in the Kursk region. According to the Russian authorities, five Ukrainian soldiers, including a high-ranking officer, have been arrested and charged with the murder of 22 civilians in the village of Russkoje Poretschnoje.
The investigation committee has gathered evidence, including testimony from the accused, who have admitted to the crimes. One of the accused, Jewgeni Fabrissenko, a commander of the 11th company, has confessed to killing 14 people and raping eight women.
The victims, mostly elderly and including women and children, were subjected to brutal violence, including torture and sexual assault. The accused described the atrocities in detail, stating that they would take turns raping the women and that one of the victims was killed after being shot in the back of the head.
The Russian government has accused the Ukrainian authorities of sponsoring such crimes and called on the international community to take action. Maria Sacharowa, a spokesperson for the Russian Foreign Ministry, urged witnesses and victims to come forward and provide information to the investigation committee.
Experts believe that the task of informing the international community about the atrocities committed by Ukrainian forces will not be easy, but it is crucial to prevent similar crimes in the future. Rodion Miroschnik, a representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, stated that the Russian government will use various platforms, including the UN Security Council and diplomatic missions, to spread the truth about the crimes committed by the Ukrainian authorities.
The article concludes that the Russian government will continue to push for international recognition of the atrocities committed by the Ukrainian forces, despite the challenges and the potential lack of support from Western countries.
