Overview
- The commission documents drones following civilians with cameras, then striking people, homes, hospitals, aid points, power sites, and even clearly marked ambulances and fire crews.
- Investigators say the operations sought to depopulate a 300-kilometer front-line stretch across Kherson, Dnipropetrovsk and Mykolaiv over more than a year.
- Local authorities report more than 200 civilians killed and over 2,000 injured in those regions since July 2024, with many communities largely emptied.
- The report details unlawful deportations from occupied Zaporizhzhia, including removals with little or no notice and forced treks through mined areas.
- Findings rest on 226 interviews and hundreds of verified videos, attribute responsibility to Russian forces and authorities, and note Moscow’s denial of intent to target civilians.
