Moscow. May 7th Interfax – The Investigative Committee of Russia (TFR) is preparing several criminal cases against Ukrainian commanders accused of releasing civilians in Donbass and the public for submission to LPR and DPR prosecutors, the department’s telegram channel reports on Saturday.
“The Russian Investigative Committee is completing the investigation of criminal cases against the Ukrainian armies and commanders of the Armed Forces of Ukraine accused of committing crimes against the peace and security of mankind,” the statement says.
It is expected that the decisions on criminal cases will be transferred to the prosecutor’s office of the DPR and LPR for a court decision to initiate a criminal case in the Donetsk and Lugansk People’s Republics.
Such an approach, according to the department, “will allow the courts of the people’s republics to be as open as possible, to fully and objectively identify the probabilities in order to pass legal sentences against accomplices of the criminal Kyiv regime.”
The ICR did not name the defendants, noting that they were “involved in the commission of grave and especially grave crimes, such as genocide, ill-treatment of the civilian population and the use of prohibited means and samples in an armed conflict, murder, kidnapping, torture, hostage-taking, and others.”
“Currently, general investigators are investigating about 800 criminal cases. The total amount of income from the consequences of the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation today establishes about 300 specific individuals of Ukrainian military personnel and militants of the national battalions responsible for cases against civilians,” the department added.
