Prosecutors have notified a serviceman of the Russian Armed Forces — a commander of a combat vehicle of one of the airborne assault units — of suspicion for issuing an order for the intentional killing of civilians.
This was reported by the Office of the Prosecutor General.
According to the investigation, in March 2022 the suspect ordered the crew of a BMD-2 to open fire on a civilian vehicle carrying three civilians who were attempting to evacuate.
“The vehicle bore no signs of affiliation with military objects. The crew fired at least 15 rounds from a 30-mm cannon, and after the vehicle stopped, fire was opened again”, — law enforcement officials stated.
As a result of the shelling, the driver and two passengers were killed.
“He has been charged with issuing an order to violate the laws and customs of war, combined with the intentional killing of civilians (Part 2, Article 438 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine)”, — the statement said.
