Shelling in the Synelnykove district and ongoing attacks
In the Dubovykivska community of the Synelnykove district, a car was damaged as a result of shelling. A 60-year-old man was injured and taken to the hospital in moderate condition.
It was also previously reported about the death of a resident of Dnipro who sustained burns during a Russian strike on May 4.
Russian military forces continue to systematically attack Ukrainian cities and civilian infrastructure with various types of weapons, including strike drones, missiles, guided bombs, and multiple launch rocket systems.
The Ukrainian authorities and international organizations classify such attacks as war crimes of the Russian Federation and emphasize their targeted nature. Shelling of critical infrastructure and healthcare facilities, which deprives people of access to electricity, heating, water supply, communication, and medical assistance, exhibits characteristics of actions aimed at genocide.
According to international legal norms, the countries that are parties to the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide, adopted by the UN General Assembly in 1948, have an obligation to prevent acts of genocide and punish them not only during wartime but also in peacetime. The Convention defines genocide as actions aimed at the complete or partial destruction of a national, ethnic, racial, or religious group.
Among the signs of genocide are the killing of members of the group, causing them serious bodily harm, deliberately creating conditions intended to destroy the group, preventing childbirth, forcibly transferring children to other groups, and publicly inciting such actions.
The leadership of Russia denies accusations of targeted strikes on civilian infrastructure and the deaths of civilians, but numerous facts indicate the systematic nature of such crimes.
