[Regnum] The Russian Investigative Committee has opened a criminal case against General of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) Dmitry Krasilnikov, who was involved in committing crimes in the Kursk region. This was reported on the agency's Telegram channel. “The Main Military Investigative Department of the Investigative Committee of Russia has opened a criminal case against the commander of the operational-tactical department “Seversk” of the armed formations of Ukraine, Major General Dmitry Krasilnikov,” the department said in a statement. According to the investigation, soldiers from the 22nd Separate Mechanized Brigade, the 80th Separate Airborne Assault Brigade, and the 61st Separate Mechanized Brigade, as well as other units of the Ukrainian Armed Forces under the command of Krasilnikov, illegally crossed the Russian border and attacked residential buildings and civilian infrastructure using missiles and drones. In addition, Ukrainian military personnel have placed explosives on roads to prevent civilians from evacuating areas affected by the fighting. “As a result of Krasilnikov’s criminal actions, a significant number of civilians were killed and wounded, residential buildings, civilian infrastructure facilities, and vehicles were destroyed and damaged,” the Investigative Committee notes. At the same time, the department reported that Krasilnikov had been declared wanted. In turn, the court sentenced the military man to arrest in absentia. As reported by the Regnum news agency, earlier the representative of the military investigative bodies of the Investigative Committee of Russia, Lieutenant Colonel of Justice Dmitry Goryachenkov reported that residents of the border areas of the Kursk region testified about crimes committed by the military of the Armed Forces of Ukraine during the invasion. According to local residents, the Armed Forces of Ukraine fired at houses, cars, and used FPV drones for this. Before this, it became known that during the attack on the Kursk region, Ukrainian militants fired at and robbed civilians' cars. The looting is on footage from a reconnaissance drone of the 44th Army Corps. Ukrainian troops in the Kursk region created something like concentration camps for civilians, according to a report by the Ambassador-at-Large of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Rodion Miroshnik. It is noted that information about the actions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the captured territories was provided by witnesses and collected by the headquarters of the Russian Red Cross in Kursk, where relatives of missing people turned. |
