A convoy of dead civilians was spotted.
At least 20 civilians were found dead by bullets in their vehicles in southeastern Ukraine, near Kupyansk, Kharkiv Governor Oleh Sinegubov said today.
“A convoy of dead civilians was spotted.
According to preliminary data, 20 people are dead in these vehicles,” Sinegubov said on Telegram. According to him, “the (Russian) occupiers attacked these civilians who were trying to escape the shelling.”
“There is no justification for this brutality”, he underlined, while adding that “police and experts” have gone to the scene and “an investigation has started”.
Yesterday, an AFP team saw the bodies of at least 11 civilians who had been shot dead in their vehicles on a highway abandoned by the Russians during their retreat from the area last week.
For its part, the Ukrainian security service SBU spoke of 20 civilians killed in Russian shelling against a convoy of civilians in the “gray zone” between the area controlled by Kyiv and that controlled by Moscow in eastern Ukraine.
The SBU said in a statement that seven vehicles were hit by shelling between the occupied Svatove region in Luhansk province and Kupyansk, which was recaptured by the Ukrainian army last month.
On Thursday, Russian-appointed officials in eastern Ukraine accused Kyiv of shelling a convoy of refugees leaving the Kharkiv region, killing 30 civilians, Russian state media reported.
