Quote from the General Staff: "Russian occupiers are continuing to manipulate the effects of the crime they committed to their advantage in settlements located on the temporarily occupied territory of Kherson Oblast. For example, they are housing civilians who had evacuated from flooded settlements in the same boarding houses and recreation centres where Russian military units are based.

In this manner, the occupiers are trying to protect themselves by using civilians as a cover."
