At least 621 Russian civilians have been killed in Ukrainian attacks since the large -scale invasion of Ukraine in Moscow, the Russian Research Committee, Alexander Bastrykin, said Monday.
“The kyiv regime constantly attacks Russian regions with NATO missiles. This leads to the destruction of civil infrastructure and civil deaths,” Bastrykin said in an event in St. Petersburg.
The death toll includes 38 children, he said, added that 3,217 people have been injured.
The Russian Investigation Committee, which investigates the main crimes, has launched more than 3000 criminal investigations on Ukrainian cross -border attacks, Bastarykin said.
“Most attacks have happened in the regions of Belgorod, Kursk, Bryansk, Rostov, Krasnodar, as well as in [annexed] Crimea and Sevastopol, “he added.
In addition, Bastrykin said that almost 550 Ukrainian soldiers and foreign mercenaries have been sentenced to the terms of Leghy prison.
In comparison, the United Nations estimates that more than 13,100 Ukrainian civilians have been killed since President Vladimir Putin ordered large -scale invasion in February 2022.
