War Crimes Unveiled: Russia's Drone Strikes on Ukrainian Civilians

A United Nations inquiry has uncovered what it describes as coordinated attacks on civilians by Russian forces using drones in southern Ukraine. These drones, which pursue individuals across long distances, have forced thousands to flee in what the report identifies as crimes against humanity.

The comprehensive report from the Independent International Commission of Inquiry on Ukraine is set to be presented to the U.N. General Assembly. It is based on extensive interviews and verified online videos, documenting the chilling experiences of individuals chased by drones and sometimes attacked with fire bombs.

According to the findings, such attacks have led to significant population displacement, leaving mostly older individuals and those with disabilities in affected regions. This systematic targeting underscores the deliberate intent behind these brutal tactics, which the commission equates with forcible transfers and other war crimes.
