The militants of the Russian-occupation forces deliberately destroy and destroy settlements over which they lose their control, according to the Operational Command of the Army "North".
In Facebook OK "North" notes that the settlement of Yuzhnoe (Donetsk region) was occupied by Ukrainian military without fighting and was to receive a chance for the full restoration of civilized life. Nevertheless, the invaders began its deliberate destruction and the creation of conditions for the full exit of its inhabitants.
The houses of the village were daily subjected to shelling. They were set on fire by illuminating mines and projectiles, as well as by tracer bullets.
"Entire streets are destroyed. In such a hot weather, which is now, the transfer of fire from house to house is almost instantaneous. Military men who defend the village do not have time to save houses from constant arson from the Russian occupants, "the message says..
The commanders note that the lack of guarantees from the OPDO for the safe operation of firefighters and rescuers makes it impossible to maintain infrastructure and civil buildings. Moreover, any transport moving towards the village, or in the opposite direction, is subjected to shelling.
"This trend, to sow panic among local residents, arose not yesterday. The occupants deliberately destroy civilian infrastructure and bombard peaceful residential areas to demoralize civilians and undermine confidence in military leadership while constantly broadcasting a zombie picture and an artificial message - "If there were no Ukrainian military - you would not have been shot," - the message says.
The commanders came to the conclusion that the Russian invaders and their "henchmen" are not going to restore peaceful life in the conflict zone and they are indifferent to the fate of those whom they left homeless.
