The captured invader told the SBU about how Russian jet artillery deliberately destroyed high-rise buildings in Kharkiv.

Ukrainian defenders captured him during the liberation of the village of Tsyrkuny in the suburbs of Kharkiv.

The commander of the 25th Artillery Brigade of the Russian Federation told the Ukrainian special services that the main target of the Russian jet divisions were Kharkiv houses - the enemy fired at civilian targets.

The closest district of Kharkiv to Tsyrkuniv is Northern Saltivka, which has been shelled almost daily since the beginning of the war by enemy BM-21 "Grad" and "Hurricane", and has one of the densest buildings. And today, almost every one of the 16 high-rise buildings has been destroyed by Russians.

The prisoner himself claims that he did not participate in the shelling of residential neighborhoods but only monitored the "exits" of his and Ukrainian artillery.

He also reported the personal data of the invaders involved in other Russian war crimes and the destruction of civilians in Kharkiv. The special services carefully study and verify the evidence provided.
