MOSCOW, May 27. /TASS/. Militants of the Right Sector (banned in Russia) make public calls for genocide against the Russian-speaking population and members of the Greek community in the Velikonoselkovsky district of the Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR), Colonel-General Mikhail Mizintsev, chief of Russia’s National Defense Management Center, said on Friday.

"In the Velikonoselkovsky district of the Donetsk People’s Republic, militants of the radical Right Sector nationalist organization openly call for genocide against the Russian-speaking population and the Greek diaspora," said Mizintsev, who heads the Russian Joint Coordination Headquarters in Ukraine.

Moreover, the nationalists seize money and cars from civilians, referring to the needs of territorial defense to justify it.

"These actions of Ukrainian neo-Nazis are acts of terror against their own population and war crimes with no limitations period, and officials of the Kiev regime and the actual perpetrators are war criminals and terrorists," Mizintsev stressed.

More than 400 tonnes of humanitarian cargoes were delivered to people in Ukraine’s Kherson and Kharkov regions, the Lugansk and Donetsk People’s Republics (LPR and DPR) during the past day, Mizintsev said.

"Six humanitarian operations were conducted in the Donetsk People’s Republic, the Kharkov and Zaporozhye regions on May 27, 2022. As many as 277.4 tonnes of articles of daily necessity and food were distributed among people," Mizintsev added.

More than 19,000 people, including more than 2,600 children, were evacuated from dangerous regions in Ukraine, and from the Lugansk and Donetsk People’s Republics to Russia during the day, Mizintsev, said.
