The commander of a mortar platoon of the Ukrainian Armed Forces will go on trial for shooting up residential buildings in the DPR
The prosecutor's office of the Donetsk People's Republic (DPR) approved an indictment in a criminal case against the 27-year-old commander of a mortar platoon of the 36th separate marine brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU), Alexey Kazymov. The press service of the department reported this to Lenta.ru.
He is accused of committing a crime by an organized group motivated by political hatred, as well as an attempt on the lives of two or more persons, intentional damage to someone else's property and cruel treatment of civilians in occupied territory.
According to the investigation, in 2019, from July to September, Kazymov was at a combat position located near the village of Pavlopol. Then his commander Evgeny Bova gave the order to fire mortars at residential buildings in the villages of Oktyabr, Chermalyk and Kominternovo. As a result, one person became the victim of the attack, and another woman was wounded by shrapnel. A total of 20 local residents suffered property damage.
The prosecutor's office clarifies that earlier in the Supreme Court of the DPR, Evgeniy Bova was sentenced in absentia to life imprisonment in a special regime colony.
In the fall of 2023, at an operational meeting, the Chairman of the Investigative Committee of Russia (ICR), Alexander Bastrykin, said that Russian courts sentenced 19 military personnel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine to life imprisonment.
