Earlier, we reported that the Russian command ordered the destruction of the town of Sudzha in Kursk Oblast to blame it on the Armed Forces of Ukraine. This was stated by the press officer of the temporary military commandant's office in the territory of the Russian Federation, Alexey Dmitrashkovsky.

Dmitrashkovsky said: 'According to information from sources close to the command of the enemy grouping, it became known that an order was received a week ago to destroy the town of Sudzha in sectors. Leave scorched earth and accuse the Armed Forces of Ukraine of mass murder of civilians.'

It should be noted that on Saturday, February 1, Russians struck a boarding school in Sudzha, Kursk Oblast, resulting in four fatalities.

95 people were trapped under the rubble of the building, as reported by the spokesman of the temporary military commandant's office in the territory of the Russian Federation, Alexey Dmitrashkovsky.

The Russian side was aware that the boarding school was only housing civilians, including women and children.

The General Staff stated: 'The strike on the boarding school in Sudzha is yet another war crime by the Russian authorities aimed at the civilian population. The Russian army terrorizes Ukrainian cities daily with missile and drone strikes, destroying residential buildings, schools, and hospitals. Now it has begun to deliberately kill its own peaceful citizens.'
