Russia’s Investigative Committee completes investigation of 132 criminal cases against Ukrainian military
The Russian Investigative Committee (SK) has finished the investigation of 132 criminal cases against law-enforcement officials of the Kiev regime who committed crimes against civilians in Donbass and Ukraine, the SK press service reported.
“As of December 7, the SK had filed 2,244 criminal cases and completed the investigation of 132,” the SK press service said.
Kiev law-enforcers have committed such crimes as genocide, terrorism, cruel treatment of civilians, use of prohibited means and method of warfare, murders, deliberate destruction or damage to property etc (Articles 205, 356, 105, 167 of Russia’s Criminal Code).
”There are more than 350 suspects including senior military officials and army unit commanders who issued criminal orders to shell the civilian population and civil infrastructure,” the SK said.
The Ukrainian government launched the so-called anti-terrorist operation against Donbass in April 2014. The peace talks that began soon thereafter failed to reach tangible results due to Kiev’s position to settle the conflict by force.
On February 24, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced a special military operation to protect Donbass residents from Ukrainian aggression. Prior to that, LPR and DPR Heads Leonid Pasechnik and Denis Pushilin asked the Russian leader to provide military assistance. The LPR militia and Russian armed forces fully liberated the LPR territory from Ukrainian armed formations on July 3.
