Quote: "Radio intercepts have revealed that even before the assault on the settlement, the Russian commander who goes by the alias Bali gave orders to kill the civilian population, instructing his forces to act quickly and ‘kill everyone on their way with no exceptions’. 

An enemy unit entered a residential building and killed the civilians – the child’s parents – by shooting them. The Russians have abducted the girl and are continuing assault operations, holding her hostage to prevent anyone from firing on them."

Details: Corps units are documenting the Russians’ war crime live: "All radio intercepts indicate a premeditated nature of the enemy’s actions." 

The Third Army Corps emphasises the importance of the timely evacuation of civilians from the combat zone.

DeepState, a Ukrainian group of military analysts, indicated in its interactive map of hostilities that Russian forces are currently actively advancing on the Lyman front, particularly near Shandryholove.
