19.04.2022, Donetsk.

Ukrainian troops deliberately carried out a mass extermination of civilians in Mariupol, the ombudswoman of the Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR) Darya Morozova wrote on April 19 on her Telegram channel.

According to Morozova, the exact number of victims of war crimes committed by Ukrainian fighters will be known after the search operations are completed.

“Now, as we are mopping up Mariupol, we have begun collecting the remains of the dead in the central part of the city. The exact number of victims of Ukrainian war crimes will be named after the completion of the search activities. But already at this stage, it is clear that we are talking about the deliberate mass extermination of civilians,” the ombudswoman wrote.

At an extraordinary meeting of the Russian Security Council in Moscow chaired by Russian President Vladimir Putin on February 21, it was decided to recognize the independence of the LPR and DPR.

Following the meeting of the Security Council, the Russian leader addressed Russian citizens and said that he considered it necessary to recognize the independence of the DPR and LPR. He noted that the world prefers not to notice the horror and genocide in Donbass, where not a day goes by without shelling and killing civilians.

On February 24, Russian leader Vladimir Putin announced the launch of a special operation in Ukraine at the request of the leaders of the republics of Donbass. He stressed that Moscow does not intend to occupy Ukraine; its goal is the demilitarization and denazification of the country. According to a statement by the Russian Defense Ministry, strikes by the Russian Armed Forces are carried out only against Ukraine’s military infrastructure and troops.
