Quote: "Radio intercepts have revealed that even before the assault on the settlement, the Russian commander, who goes by the alias Bali, gave orders to wipe out the civilian population, instructing his forces to act quickly and ‘kill everyone on their way with no exceptions’. 

An enemy unit entered a residential building and killed the civilians – the child’s parents – by shooting them. The Russians abducted the girl and are continuing assault operations, holding her hostage to prevent anyone from firing on them."

Details: Units in the Third Army Corps are documenting the Russians’ war crime live: "All the radio intercepts indicate the premeditated nature of the enemy’s actions."

The Third Army Corps stressed how important it is for civilians to evacuate from the combat zone as soon as possible.
