The information spread in Telegram channels that "the criminal case on the incident of the death of soldiers during the award ceremony in a frontline village in Zaporozhye collapsed in court" does not correspond to reality
The department notes that criminal proceedings on the fact of negligent attitude to military service under Part 4 of Article 425 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine are being investigated by investigators of the state Bureau of Investigation under the procedural guidance of the specialized prosecutor's office in the field of defense of the Eastern Region.
Now a complex of investigative actions continues, forensic examinations are scheduled
Separately, we note that an administrative protocol was drawn up against the brigade commander under Part 2 of Article 172-16 of the Code of administrative offenses of Ukraine regarding late notification of an incident
