Systematic Attacks and Signs of Genocide
“In Synelnykove, the communities of Pokrovske, Malomykhailivka, and Mezhivka were under fire. A 70-year-old woman was killed. The lyceum and a private house were destroyed.”
Russian military forces regularly use various types of weapons—strike drones, missiles, guided aerial bombs, and multiple rocket launch systems—to attack Ukrainian cities and civilian infrastructure throughout the country.
Ukrainian authorities and international organizations classify these strikes as war crimes committed by the Russian Federation, emphasizing their targeted nature. Shelling of vital infrastructure for the population, medical facilities, electricity and water supply, as well as other actions aimed at depriving people of basic living conditions, exhibit signs of genocidal acts.
In particular, the leadership of Russia has repeatedly publicly stated the non-existence of the Ukrainian nation, called for its destruction, and carries out targeted shelling of educational, cultural, and infrastructure facilities. Additionally, there have been documented cases of child deportation, destruction of Ukrainian books, and artifacts in occupied territories.
The UN Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide, adopted in 1948, obliges member states to prevent acts of genocide and to punish them in both wartime and peacetime. According to the Convention, genocide is defined as acts intended to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnic, racial, or religious group. Among the signs of genocide are the killing of members of the group, causing them serious bodily or mental harm, creating living conditions intended to destroy the group, hindering childbirth, and forcibly transferring children.
Despite this, the leadership of Russia denies any responsibility for strikes on the civilian infrastructure of Ukrainian cities and villages, as well as for the deaths and injuries of civilians.
