Deputy Prosecutor General of Ukraine in 2019-2021 Gunduz Mammadov noted that Russian propagandists have already confirmed that missile attacks on critical infrastructure are a deliberate tactic to divert attention from failures on the front lines.. In his microblog on Twitter, he published a piece of one of the broadcasts on RosTV, where one of the supporters of the Putin regime calls for de-energizing all of Ukraine.

However, Mammadov notes that such behavior is contrary to the norms of the Geneva Convention..

" Measures such as retaliation for defeat are expressly prohibited by Articles 52 and 54 AD I,"

Recall that on the evening of September 11, Russia launched another missile attack on Ukraine, firing 11 cruise missiles from the Caspian Sea.. Nine of them were eliminated by our air defense and the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the other two fell into critical infrastructure facilities - at the Kharkiv and Kremenchug thermal power plants. As a result, settlements of Poltava, Kharkiv, Dnepropetrovsk, Zaporozhye and Donetsk regions were left without electricity, water and heat for several hours..

Foreign Minister Dmitry Kuleba warned Ukrainians that yesterday's strike on stations was only the beginning. The Minister noted that Vladimir Putin has already begun to apply new tactics.
