1-й корпус НГУ "Азов" повідомляє, що 28 серпня в Покровському районі на Донеччині окупант застрелив місцевого жителя.

Це пряме порушення Женевської конвенції та черговий доказ, що для російської армії не існує ні законів, ні моралі.

Quote: "This is a direct violation of the Fourth Geneva Convention on the protection of civilians. It is yet another proof that for the Russians, neither law nor morality exists.

According to available information, the crime was committed by a serviceman of the 95th Separate Rifle Regiment of the 5th Separate Motor Rifle Brigade of the 51st Guards Combined Arms Army of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation."
