The Russian army created a human shield from the inhabitants of one of the villages of the Trostyanets community of the Sumy region.
According to the head of the regional state administration Dmitry Zhivitsky, the invaders did this to protect the deployed S-300 medium-range anti-aircraft missile system.
Depending on the specific type of installation and interceptor missiles, the maximum range of the system can reach 150, 200, 300 kilometers.
Designed for direct cover of troops located near the enemy, primarily from ballistic missiles, aircraft and other targets.
The aggressors occupied the village in the Trostyanets community on March 5. Almost every courtyard on the central and nearby streets has a Russian tank.
Recall that on the same day, the Russian military fired on a taxi with civilians near the village of Pustovoitovka, Sumy region.
The driver died on the spot, and the woman and her 17-year-old son, who were in the car, are now in the hospital.
One person was killed and two were injured after shelling a local gas station in Romny.
