MOSCOW, March 13. /TASS/. Russian forces clearing occupied areas in the Kursk Region have uncovered evidence of dozens of civilian murders and assault by Ukrainian troops, said Lieutenant General Apty Alaudinov, deputy chief of the Russian Armed Forces’ Main Military-Political Department and commander of the Akhmat special forces unit.

"We have learned about dozens of cases of killings and rape, and there will be dozens more of them. We have a lot to sort out," he told the Rossiya-24 TV channel.

According to Alaudinov, after liberating the settlement of Russkoye Porechnoye from Ukrainian troops, Russian service members saw "dozens of mangled bodies; elderly people lying there with their hands tied." "We saw the same in other communities, and especially in Sudzha," he added.
