Russian General Apti Alaudinov knew that civilians were in the Sudzha boarding school and tried to cover up the war crimes of the Russian army.
This was stated by the press officer of the military commandant's office in the Kursk region, Oleksii Dmytrashkivskyi, Censor.NET reports.
After the air strike on the boarding school, the Russian general publicly accused Ukraine, inventing a story that the Ukrainian Armed Forces had allegedly hit his headquarters with a missile.
Alaudinov promised to organize a "green corridor" to allow the Russians to be taken out of Sudzha, but later began to justify why Russia could not do so.
In a telephone conversation with Dmytrashkivskyi, he admitted that only civilians were in the boarding school, which was known to the Russian army command.
"We are aware that civilians are in this boarding school. We knew that they were brought there," the Russian general said.
After this conversation, drones began to hit the boarding school, and then an air bomb arrived. Alauidnov assured that he was not involved in the shelling of the boarding school in Sudzha, although he knows who carried out these strikes. He also mentions the Russian Defense Ministry and Russian army units operating in the Sudzha area.
"I can make sure that they don't bomb or do anything. I can ask them to stop, no problem. I can give a command that no one does anything. ... I do not hit the boarding school, I do not have such opportunities. It's the other side, the units that are coming, they may be hitting, I'm not in touch with them," he said later.
