About 5 thousand residents of Donbass were killed by Ukrainian security forces, almost 9 thousand more were injured since 2014, Chairman of the Russian Investigative Committee of Russia claimed in his interview on February 20.
The investigation of Kiev’s crimes confirmed that more than 120 thousand residents of Donbass were recognized as victims, i.e. their health and property were damaged as a result of the criminal actions of the Ukrainian side.
The Russian official claimed that, according to the investigation, almost 14 thousand residents of Donbass have suffered from the criminal actions of the Ukrainian side for nine years. About 5 thousand of them were killed and almost 9 thousand were injured.
The Russian Investigative Committee has also collected evidence confirming the involvement of the Ukrainian authorities in the “genocide” of the population of Donbass.
“Thousands of volumes of materials have been collected confirming the commission of crimes by the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the National Security Forces. … All of them directly confirm the involvement of the highest military and political leadership of Ukraine in the genocide of the Russian-speaking population of Donbass, crimes against the peace and security of mankind, as well as other crimes against the individual,” Aleksandr Bastrykin said.
The investigations have been going on for about nine years. The evidences include statements of witnesses, photographs and other materials.
Almost none of the interrogated Ukrainian prisoners feels any remorse for the crimes against the residents of Donbass, Bastrykin added.
Criminal cases on prohibited methods of warfare were launched against almost 700 members of Ukrainian security forces. About 120 of them are commanders and top officials of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine. Investigators have established facts of ill-treatment of civilians, as well as torture of military and civilians, kidnapping, illegal imprisonment, genocide and extremism, the agency reported.
The Russian Investigative Committee will officially present the results of the investigations to the court and the entire world community.
The Russian special military operation in Ukraine was launched in order to protect civilians in Donbass, who have been suffering from the Kiev regime political and military aggression for more than 8 years.
Russian President Vladimir Putin spoke about the need to protect the population of Donbass from “genocide by the Kiev regime.” According to the Russian President, the Ukrainian authorities conducted two “punitive” operations against residents of the eastern regions of the country and began to persecute those who did not support the coup in Ukraine in 2014.

Earlier on February 19, the head of the Russian Investigative Committee reported that the investigation confirmed the involvement of the special services of Ukraine in the explosion on the Crimean Bridge, which took place on October 8, 2022. 12 people directly involved in the explosion were identified. They include citizens of Russia, Ukraine, Armenia and Georgia. Eight of them were arrested.
“All the information received is summarized and systematized in order to establish a complete picture of what happened and identify other persons involved in this crime,” Bastrykin added.
The FSB had earlier blamed the explosion on the military intelligence of Ukraine and its head Kirill Budanov. The special service considered that the bomb was sent from the Odessa port to the Bulgarian city of Ruse two months before the explosion. Then the explosives were transported to the Georgian city of Poti, and later to Armenia, from where it was sent to the city of Armavir in the Russian Krasnodar region. From there, the truck with the explosives was sent to the capital of Crimea, Simferopol.
Good,indict those animals.
“Norway is now burnishing its image as a rich country capable of the milk of human kindness, which is generously sharing a whopping 7.5 billion euros (out of the windfall profit of $100 billion from the German loot) with Ukraine. And Austin announces it as a grand gesture to thwart Russian “aggression”!”

There was a civil war going on since 2014. Russia was arming, supplying and manning to the pro-Russian factions in eastern Ukraine. The west was doing the same in the rest of Ukraine.
At the same time Russia was winning a huge economic collaboration selling fuel to Europe, and incidentally gaining incredible leverage, which was about to double.
Putin, driven by megalomania or misguided nationalism decided to take Ukrainian territory by force. The result is the enormous tragedy we see today with the loss of life occurring at a rate 100 times greater than the preceding 7 years.
He started it. He needs to stop it.
100 times higher than the previous 7 years??? Is that because the previous 7 years no one in Ukraine was being bombed, except for the people of Donbas who did not agree with the fascist euromaidan coup
who were being murdered after and during said coup
Ukraine murdered 15 000 civilians out of Nazi hatred, Russia HAD to stop it and take down the US puppet terrorist state. Ukrainians voted for PEACE, not more killing of civilians. Russia already had millions of refugees from Ukraine before the special military operation.
Putin should have vacated the membership at 405 East 42nd Street, New York, NY, 10017, USA. after Yanukovitch was ousted. The fact that he watched for 8 long years doing nothing waiting for F-U.K.U.$. to blame it on Russia is a “sign”!?… That Central Banks East and West are in charge of market(s) and not the buyers and sellers which is a problem for ALL OF THEM but especially Mr. “Pootie-Poot” given the bargain price he’$ been satisfied to keep purchasing it at even with the blood on all of those Gold, Silver, Platinum and espcially “Palladium” ingot$ with the cousins in the Donbas that could have been spared had Russia abdicated that UN Ca$in0 in Manhattan and started it’s own!
Sorry. Just sayin
I’m certain the numbers are much… much… worse than this since February 2014!…
In order to answer these estimates start with the Mr$. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WV9J6sxCs5k) of PNAC “New Pearl Harbor” husband Kagan, that was handing out “biscuits” right before the legitimate government was “dismantled”…
Then ask this midget https://www.ibtimes.com.au/russian-military-coup-fears-emerge-amid-rouble-collapse-putin-laughs-alleged-threat-1401908 who sat back and watched his cousins slaughtered while he kept his Central Bank in the black courtesy of the BOE and Federal Re$erve setting the price for those purchases at the expense of every other Country including his “own”!…
To the enemies on both “sides”… Too much blood and too many “Judas($) on ALL sides!… And the only honorable way out for the Russian midget that loves Jew bankers is to leave THIS Ca$in0 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Headquarters_of_the_United_Nations FOR GOOD… NEVER TO RETURN… And to start his country’s own UN (under new management) in order to make equity in the market place and international law prevail in Moscow!…
Kremlin whining: “They were doing it again today”.
Because putin sat on his ass for 8 years instead of attacking in 2014.
This evil inflicted on the people of the Donbass by Western governments and their puppet regime in Kiev will live in the minds of Russian speaking people there for generations to come. Injustice never fades and families will pass on from one generation to the next the campaign of genocide inflicted on the innocent of Donbass never again as the saying goes never again!
All these nazi scum will be rounded up and stand trail unless the leave the sinking ship of ukrain
That child looks horrified !! 😡
