Russian attacks on civilian infrastructure
Russian military units regularly use strike drones, missiles, aerial bombs, and multiple launch rocket systems to attack cities in Ukraine and civilian infrastructure in various regions of the country. Such actions have repeatedly been classified by Ukrainian authorities and international organizations as war crimes with a targeted nature.
Particular attention is drawn to the shelling of life-support systems, medical facilities, and infrastructure that deprives the population of access to electricity, heating, water, communication, and medical assistance. Experts and human rights defenders point out that such actions may contain signs of genocide, namely the deliberate creation of conditions aimed at the destruction of the Ukrainian nation as a separate group.
During the full-scale war, Russia is also committing other crimes that may fall under the definition of genocide: the persecution of individuals with pro-Ukrainian positions in occupied territories, the extermination of the intelligentsia, the deportation of children, and the seizure and destruction of cultural heritage.
The Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide, adopted by the UN General Assembly in 1948, stipulates the responsibility of participating countries to prevent and punish acts of genocide aimed at the total or partial destruction of a national, ethnic, racial, or religious group.
The leadership of Russia denies that the Russian army deliberately targets civilian objects in Ukraine; however, the facts of the destruction of hospitals, schools, energy facilities, and other vital infrastructure elements indicate otherwise.
