The Investigation Rocket Attack on Civilian Objects in Odesa Region

Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) started the investigation of rocket attack on civilian objects in the settlement of Odesa region (as we mentioned earlier https://onenews.online/teror-ukraints%D1%96v-trivaye-odeska-oblast-01-lipnya-2022).

Currently, the investigators of the Security Service are working on the spot war crime of the aggressor country Russian Federation, as reported by the Head of the SBU, Ivan Bakanov.

Proceedings are opened under Part 2 of Art. 438 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (violation of the laws and customs of war).

At night, the aggressor hit a nine-story residential building and two recreation centers in the Bilhorod-Dnistrovsky district with Tu-22 strategic aviation planes and with three X-22 missiles.

And as a result, 19 people have already been confirmed dead, including 2 children. 38 people were hospitalized, among them are six children and a pregnant woman and one child is in a coma. Another 8 victims received medical assistance. 8 people were rescued from the rubble.

Rescue operation is still conducting in one of the entrances of the nine-story building, which was completely destroyed.

                                             

"The occupiers cannot win on the battlefield, so they resort to the vile killing of civilians. After the enemy was knocked out of Zmiinyi Island, they decided to respond by cynically shelling civilian objects. By this, Russia once again confirmed the status of a terrorist country. For them, a recreation base is the same goal as a military base. The goal of the Russian Federation is the literal destruction of Ukraine and our citizens. But we will make every effort to ensure that everyone involved in this flagrant war crime receives the most severe punishment - we will identify not only those who fired the shots but also the specific persons who gave the order," the Head of the SBU Bakanov said. 

The Security Service of Ukraine expresses condolences to the relatives and friends of the victims. All Ukraine prays for the recovery of the wounded.

Information with the names of dead appears in social networks. Among them, Oleksandr  Shyshkov, he was the head of the children’s and youth football Club “Athletic” (https://www.facebook.com/athletic.club.odessa).  All his life he has given the development of child football in this region. On July 2-3, the tournament “ Akerman’s Fortress was planned. On a charitable volunteers basis Oleksand Shyshkov spent five weeks for preparing the children of Sergiivka. It is stated in his penultimate post on his Facebook.

                                                                                                         

On that terrible night, Sasha thought of going to Odesa for the night, even left but then came back 40 minutes later. He said: “I am tired, I will have a rest and leave tomorrow” – this decision turned out fatal for him. Fortunately, there were no children with him. His friends from Odesa reported this.

In Oleksandr’s last video, we can see how he loved life, his work and children. He was preparing them for a championship future and believed in the success of each his little football player.

This is a great loss for the development of Ukrainian Football, The Odesa community, relatives of the Shyshkov family and two children lost their father.

July2,2022 in Odesa and the region has been declared a day of mourning for the innocent dead residents of Sergiivka, Odesa region. Each of the enemies will be found and punished for the crimes against humanity! Eternal memory to all the dead!
