Russian troops received orders to kill civilians: horrifying details revealed.

According to inkorr.com: Russian soldiers were given orders to eliminate civilian men during attacks, while women and children were to be used as 'human shields'. This was reported by Ukrainian military at a press conference in the Kharkiv press center 'Nakyipilo'.

'In Kupiansk, the presence of civilian population significantly complicates the combat tasks of the Defense Forces of Ukraine. There are clear evidential data – both testimonies of captured soldiers and facts confirmed by other sources – that the enemy has a clear order to eliminate men, while women, children, and elderly people are to be used as human shields' – stated the head of the communications division of the 'North' Task Force Vadim Mysnik.

Russian occupiers disguise themselves as civilians

It was also noted that the occupiers are taking measures to disguise themselves as local residents: changing into civilian clothes to move freely through populated areas and infiltrate the rear of Ukrainian forces. The head of the communications department of the 10th Army Corps Tatyana Branitskaya emphasized that the presence of civilians is a serious problem for organizing defense.

'One of the most challenging aspects is the presence of the civilian population in populated areas. The Defense Forces of Ukraine do not operate like Russian units, and we have difficulty planning operations to ensure our citizens are not harmed. Consequently, the complexity of defending a populated area doubles with the presence of civilians' – she noted.

Confirmation of orders

It was also revealed that facts regarding orders to kill civilians are confirmed by testimonies of detained Russians.

'We know for sure from interrogations of prisoners that they have orders to shoot civilians, seize houses – and if there is any resistance – to kill everyone' – reported the head of the communications department.

The actions of Russian military are a serious violation of international humanitarian law and the Geneva Conventions, which prohibit attacks on civilians and their use as 'human shields'.

Ukrainian military highlighted the brutal orders of Russians, indicating an intent to kill civilians and use them in military operations. Such atrocities threaten the lives of innocent people in the conflict, emphasizing the need for international attention to such violations.
