In the case concerning the probable execution of a Ukrainian serviceman by representatives of the SSR, priority investigative actions are being carried out.
So far, we have managed to establish the crime scene depicted in the photographs. It is the city of Novogrodovka in the Pokrovsky district of the Donetsk region.
“Rakurs” wrote that Russians executed a Ukrainian prisoner of war with a sword.
The head of the Department for Combating Crimes Committed in Armed Conflict, Office of the Prosecutor General, Denis Lysenko, spoke about the progress of the investigation on the air of “Obshchestvenny”.
Law enforcement agencies of Donetsk region have opened a criminal case on the fact of another atrocity of Russian invaders. Necessary investigative actions are being carried out to establish the circumstances of the crime. We are trying to establish the exact time, the victim, and the persons involved in the commission of this crime.
Lysenko reported that in addition to the immediate perpetrators, the investigation will also collect information about the commanders. Law enforcement officers will use all necessary resources, including in cooperation with public organizations.
Unfortunately, such cases are systemic. To date, law enforcement agencies have initiated 36 criminal proceedings on the possible execution of prisoners of war on the battlefield immediately after being captured. The circumstances of the death penalty of 84 Ukrainian defenders are being investigated.
Four representatives of the armed formations of the Russian Federation have been notified of suspicion for committing such crimes. Two have already received sentences in Ukrainian courts, and another indictment is being heard in court.
