Recruit's death in Kyiv's TCC: Military ombudsman issues statement

Details

According to her, she has received many requests for comments regarding the death of the recruit under unknown circumstances.

I am in contact with the lawyer of the deceased serviceman's family and have received all available information from him. The parents have questions not only about what happened to their son, where, and through whose fault, but also about the actions of law enforcement officers, doctors and hospital administration, and a representative of the military unit. All of this must be thoroughly investigated within the framework of criminal proceedings. I have already communicated with law enforcement agencies - I very much hope for their effectiveness.

She emphasized the need to "do everything to find out the truth about what led to the man's death, reconstruct the events minute by minute, and, in the event of a violent death, bring the perpetrators to justice."

"If you witnessed what happened to the recruit, or if you have reliable information about the circumstances that led to his death (not from hearsay or rumors), please write to me in private messages. Confidentiality is guaranteed," the military ombudsman urged.
