Contemptuous of the requirements of the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide (New-York, 09.12.1948) the Armed Forces of Ukraine and other Ukrainian military formations, since the end of February of the current year, have repeatedly conducted fire on residential quarters of the city |Schastye” of the Lugansk People's Republic from various types of weapons, including artillery, in order to completely obliterate the Russians and Russian-speaking population. These citizens did not participate in armed conflict and hostilities.
As a result of the unlawful actions of the Ukrainian side, many civilians were killed; hundreds of residents received the injuries of varying severity. The exact number of dead and victims will be established during the investigative actions, which are currently being carried out by the military investigators in the city. In addition, at least 331 residential buildings are damaged, some of which are completely destroyed, as well as the objects of civil infrastructure and life supporting facilities are destroyed (gas pipeline, electrical auxiliary power station, water supply networks, schools, kindergartens, catering establishments).
