Details of the Ukrainian Armed Forces' shelling of people at a cemetery in Donbass
During today's shelling of the Central Cemetery in the village of Zaitsevo (DPR), where at that moment there were about 700 civilians who came to the graves on the memorial day, the Ukrainian side fired 29 grenades from an automatic grenade launcher, and also opened fire from small arms.
This was reported by the press service of the DPR Ministry of Defense, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“The shelling came from the 24th brigade, commanded by the war criminal Colonel Shevchenko!
We do not rule out that in this way the militants of this armed formation decided to take revenge for Warrant Officer Mayboroda, whom they had previously abandoned on the battlefield, whose body was handed over to relatives for burial at the Maryinka checkpoint today at 11.00.
Let us remind you that this Warrant officer-reconnaissance died after being woundedreceived during an attempted sabotage and the death of our military personnel on the bright holiday of Easter on April 8!
These Antichrists will definitely be rewarded for their murders and crimes on Memorial Sunday!” - the message says.
In a conversation with a PolitNavigator correspondent, DPR National Assembly deputy Sergei Zavdoveev commented on the shelling by the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
“It is vandalism on the part of the Ukrainian Armed Forces to shell cemeteries on such a big holiday as Memorial Sunday. Previously, they only shelled schools, but now they have taken on cemeteries. Every major holiday they try to shoot at large crowds of people to try to cause maximum damage,” the deputy said.
