Commissioner: Rashist army continues mass shelling and destruction in Kyiv and Chernihiv

Yesterday in Turkey, the russian side announced a "reduction in hostilities in the Kiev and Chernihiv areas", while the racist army continues mass shelling and destruction in these areas.

The occupiers covered Chernihiv with rocket fire yesterday, one of the rocket hit the territory of the playground for children.

At night in the center of Chernihiv due to shelling burned market and shopping center.  In total, there were 20 fires during the night.

With massive artillery and mortar fire, the occupiers tried to destroy all possible routes of crossing the Desna River in the direction from Chernihiv to Kyiv.

Residents of the city are in a real humanitarian catastrophe - a few weeks without electricity, heat, water, only somewhere in the city there is gas.  In recent days, the situation has worsened due to the inability to deliver food and other assistance to the city.

In the Kiev region, the enemy fired on Irpin.  In the settlements along the Zhytomyr route - shelling and fighting.  Information on the destruction and casualties is currently being clarified.

The city of Bucha and the Bucha district in the Kyiv region - shelling from "Hail" multiple rocket launchers.

In the Brovary area the russian shell hit one of local warehouses, there was a fire on the area of   20 thousand sq.m.

During the shelling, the enemy also concentrates on fuel depots in order to complicate logistics and create conditions for a humanitarian crisis.

The aggressor's side reaffirmed that its words about security and guarantees should not be believed.

By brutally killing civilians, racist forces continue to commit crimes against humanity as defined by the Statute of the International Military Tribunal and the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court, disregarding all the requirements of the Geneva Convention relative to the Protection of Civilian Persons in Time of War.

I ask the international community to take all possible measures of pressure to stop the terrorist state and withdraw its troops from all over Ukraine.

I appeal to NATO member states to close the skies over Ukraine!
