Kyiv • UNN
Prosecutor General Kravchenko announced suspicion against a Russian Lieutenant General for approving airstrikes on Mariupol in March 2022.
Prosecutors of the Donetsk Regional Prosecutor's Office reported suspicion to a lieutenant general of the Russian Armed Forces, with whose approval in March 2022, enemy aircraft attacked Mariupol. This was reported by Prosecutor General Ruslan Kravchenko, according to UNN.
Mariupol remembers, and we have no right to forget Mariupol, a city that Russia tried to wipe off the face of the earth. Thousands of lives, hundreds of ruined families, pain that does not subside even today
The Prosecutor General pointed out that among the crimes that have become symbols of the hell organized by war criminals are:
- the bombing of the drama theater, where hundreds of civilians, including children, died. The inscription "CHILDREN" in front of the entrance did not stop the killers;
- an airstrike on the maternity ward, where there were women in labor and infants;
- dozens of destroyed residential buildings, hospitals, schools.
Behind these attacks were specific people. Today, prosecutors of the Donetsk Regional Prosecutor's Office reported suspicion to a lieutenant general of the Russian Armed Forces. With his approval, in March 2022, the city was attacked by enemy aircraft
He emphasized that violating the laws and customs of war, combined with intentional killings, is a war crime that has no statute of limitations.
We cannot bring back those who died in the theater or in the maternity hospital. But we can and must do everything to ensure that the perpetrators receive the highest measure of punishment
Recall
On March 16, 2022, Russian terrorist forces deliberately destroyed the Drama Theater in the center of Mariupol, where hundreds of residents were hiding from the constant shelling of the occupiers.
In front of the theater, a warning was visible in large letters on the asphalt: children are in the building. But the Russian command did not stop this.
