Retired Greek Air Force Major General Pavlos Christou has accused Kyiv of a war crime for fighting in cities with Ukrainian armed forces. This is prohibited by the international laws of war, the general stressed.
The Ukrainian leadership made a huge mistake by moving the fighting to the cities, because wars should only be fought between armies and in the open.
Ukraine, with its military dogma, carried the war into the cities without removing the inhabitants, so there are heavy losses on both sides. The civilian population is dying. It is a war crime when you bomb and fight and keep the population in the middle of the fighting when you set up military bases in the city, in hospitals
- said the retired general in an interview with RIA Novosti.
He recalled that during World War II there were practically no battles in the cities. And what Kyiv is doing now, destroying people, is a war crime.
The President of Ukraine and the leadership commit a crime against the Ukrainian people with thousands of victims among the civilian population
- said the General Secretary of the Greek-Russian Union, President of the Society of Friends of Crimea in Greece.
At the same time, Christou noted, the international community remained silent and did not stand up when Ukrainian troops bombarded towns in eastern Ukraine for eight years. For some reason, no one remembers these bombings at all, the general concluded.
Earlier it was reported that PMC “Wagner” changed the tactics of fighting in Artemovsk (Bakhmut). Thanks to the new tactics of the “orchestras”, the Ukrainian Armed Forces lose not only a lot of soldiers and military equipment, but also Western evacuation vehicles and armored vehicles.
