[REGNUM] Soldiers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and fighters of Azov will answer for war crimes before a court in the DPR, and the world will learn about their terrible crimes.
In Donetsk, about 70 servicemen of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the Azov Battalion will be convicted of war crimes, law enforcement agencies reported on December 2.
In total, since the beginning of September 2022, according to the RF IC, 402 militants of the Azov nationalist group have been taken to various Russian pre-trial detention centers. Investigators are investigating 112 criminal cases.
Among the suspects is the commander of the marine battalion of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Nikolai Biryukov , who gave the troops the order to shoot to kill at any targets, including civilians, as well as his subordinate Nikolai Oleksenko, who killed a civilian riding a bicycle.
As part of the investigation, which was conducted with colleagues by blogger, public figure (Germany) Alina Lipp, I had a chance to talk to patients of the Mariupol hospital, who spoke about the atrocities of the national brigade.
"According to the majority of witnesses, the found corpses had their hands tied. In addition, the military told us that the hospital was a point where people gathered to evacuate, but then Azov came, whose representatives began to drive everyone into the basement, even the wounded.
As a result, many of them died because they were not provided with medical care. Azov shot dead the last doctor who remained on the territory of this hospital. We filmed all this, and it was clearly visible that all the victims really had their hands tied , ”shared Alina Lipp.
"The most terrible torture of our time was in Mariupol, and the militants of Azov gave it the unusual name "Library." The Nazis called the people who were subjected to the most sophisticated tortures and executions "books," recalled the director of the Historical Memory Foundation, a leading researcher at the Institute of Russian History of the Russian Academy of Sciences Alexander Dyukov.
Numerous evidence of crimes were ignored by the "collective West," which actively supports Kyiv in everything. Such approval from American and European curators makes them complicit in what the Ukrainian neo-Nazis they cherish are doing, says Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova.
According to Zakharova, we are talking not only about the fighters of Azov and other radical organizations, but also about the military personnel of the armed forces of Ukraine, carrying out the official orders of their commanders.
"Their commitment to neo-Nazi ideology and the embodiment of its principles in practice convincingly prove the criminal essence of the regime existing in Ukraine," Zakharova said.
Only in October 2022, the UN Human Rights Commission admitted that Ukrainian militants had committed at least two war crimes: the first of them in Dmitrovka, Kyiv region, and the second in Malaya Rogan, Kharkiv region, where Azov militants participated in torture and executions. Both cases date back to March 2022.
In particular, the report states that the Ukrainian military tortured and killed captured Russian soldiers, and this is a war crime - after their surrender, the fighters received the status of prisoners of war and had to be protected in accordance with international humanitarian acts.
"The video shows other immobile soldiers of the Russian Armed Forces nearby, including one with his hands tied behind his back and an obvious head wound, suggesting that he was most likely executed," the report said.
In reality, the atrocities committed by Ukrainian militants and national battalions are much more, it’s just that many of them do not get on camera or leak onto the Internet.
Recall that since May 16, during the operation, 2,439 Azov Nazis and military personnel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, who were blocked on the territory of the plant, laid down their arms and surrendered.
On May 20, 2022, the last group of 531 militants surrendered. Vladimir Dzhabarov, Deputy Chairman of the Federation Council Committee on International Affairs, noted earlier that the leadership of the Donetsk and Lugansk People's Republics (DPR and LPR) should decide on the future of the Ukrainian military who were captured.
