“In Avdiivka of the Donetsk People’s Republic, neo-Nazis, under the pretext of supposedly saving them from artillery shelling, brought civilians to the territory of the coke plant and are holding them as human shields.
At the same time, the militants placed artillery and MLRS at the enterprise, from which they systematically fire at nearby settlements, ”he said.
According to Mizintsev, the nationalists are trying to provoke a return fire in order to blame the Russian Armed Forces for the deaths of civilians, according to a well-established scenario with wide media coverage in the media.
In June, the Russian Investigative Committee reported that militants of the Azov national battalion used civilians as human shields in Mariupol, and more than 2,000 people were recognized as victims in the case of the shelling of the city.
