"Violated the Geneva Convention": the Armed Forces during the retreat was blown up by a power plant in Berislav, - Reznikov

International norms prohibit the destruction of critical infrastructure in the fighting process. The commission of obvious terrorist attacks in Ukraine does not stop the invaders, said the head of the Ministry of Defense. Russian invaders blew up a power plant in Beryslav in the Kherson region during retreat. The Minister of Defense of Ukraine Alexei Reznikov wrote about it on Twitter on January 3. According to the head of the Ministry of Defense, the invaders did it specifically.

Article 51 (2) of additional Protocol 1 of the Geneva Convention prohibits the destruction of critical infrastructure. The destruction of critical infrastructure objects is recognized as a terrorist act, but this does not stop the invaders, the minister stressed. Reznikov also noted that Russia's losses caused by Russia are estimated at $ 35. 3 billion. Millions of hectares of protected areas are threatened. The Ukrainian flag over the police department in Beryslav was raised on November 11, 2022.

From this day, stabilization measures were carried out in the city. The head of the Beryslav district military administration Volodymyr Litvinov said in November last year that in Beryslav of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, high -voltage power lines (LP) were undermined. Due to the actions of the invaders, almost 1. 5 kilometers of supports and transmission lines were destroyed.

On the morning of January 2, the Russian army fired at the market in the center of Beryslav, Yaroslav Yanushevych, the head of the Kherson Regional Military Administration, said in Telegram. It should be noted that the Russian army continues to fire the released Kherson, but receives a rigid response from the Armed Forces. On January 3, the head of the Presidential Office of Ukraine Andriy Yermak announced the continuation of the battle for the south.
