Deputy Kolesnik: The Ukrainian Armed Forces strike on a car with medics is a war crime

The attack of the Kiev regime troops on a car with an ambulance brigade in the Kherson region is a war crime for which you will have to answer.

He stated this in a comment to the publication Lenta.ru State Duma deputy, member of the Parliamentary Defense Committee Andrei Kolesnik. This is how he reacted to a Ukrainian drone strike on a car with medics.

"The thing is, it's not the first time. If there is a red cross on the car, then definitely Ukrainian drones are hitting them. I want to say that this is a war crime," stated Kolesnik.

He stressed that it would not be difficult for the Russian special services to establish all the circumstances of the crime and identify those who are guilty of it. This applies to all persons who attack civilian objects.

"People may well end up in the territory controlled by our troops and face trial. Therefore, I do not advise the Ukrainian military [to hit civilians]. Still, it's a shame for the military to hit civilian targets, and especially ambulances, hospitals, kindergartens, which they periodically practice. This is a war crime, for which both the commanders and the executors themselves will be punished," the MP concluded.

As EADaily reported, earlier the governor of the Kherson region, Vladimir Saldo, said that a car with medics was attacked in the early morning on Saturday, January 24 at the entrance to the Bare Pier.

A team of three people tried to break through to a seriously ill man in a zone where the enemy hunts around the clock with drones for any equipment. The car was damaged, and the fate of the brigade members is unknown. No traces of their deaths or injuries were found on the spot.
