The so-called “Prosecutor’s Office of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea” created in Ukraine decided to condemn Vice Admiral, Deputy Commander of the Russian Pacific Fleet Denis Berezovsky in absentia. It is reported by RIA News with reference to the statement.
Berezovsky, whose name is not mentioned in the statement, is charged with “high treason” and “the creation and management of a criminal organization.” So, the message says that on March 1, 2014, Oleksandr Turchynov, who at that time was acting as President of Ukraine, appointed the person involved in the so-called case to the post of commander of the country’s Navy.
However, immediately after his appointment, the deputy head “publicly spoke to the personnel of the Ukrainian Navy and the media,” refusing to comply with any decisions, orders and orders of Kiev.
According to the so-called prosecutor’s office, such actions and decisions have led to “subversive activities against Ukraine.”
In April 2014, Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a decree according to which the former Commander-in-Chief of the Ukrainian Navy, Denis Berezovsky, was approved as Deputy Commander of the Black Sea Fleet of the Russian Navy. Berezovsky, who was appointed to this position on March 1, 2014, the day after his appointment, switched to the side of the pro-Russian forces of Crimea and was appointed commander of the newly created Navy of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea. On March 24, by order of Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu, Berezovsky was appointed Acting Deputy Commander of the Black Sea Fleet.
