European Commissioner for Crisis Management Janez Lenarčič has visited Irpin town in Kyiv region which was destroyed by Russian invaders.

“Today I was in Irpin. I was deeply shocked about the atrocities committed here but also elsewhere. Civilians and civilian infrastructure must not be a target, never, nowhere,” Lenarčič posted on Twitter.

He also added that he strongly condemned deliberate Russian attacks against Ukrainian civilians and civilian infrastructure.

Irpin, Bucha, Hostomel and the entire Kyiv region were liberated from Russian invaders in early April. Mass killings of civilians by Russian troops have been recorded in liberated towns and villages.
