The SBU has collected evidence against 6 Russians, including three generals, for the seizure of the Zaporizhzhia NPP in March 2022. They gave orders to attack the station with heavy weapons.
Three Russian generals and their accomplices, who commanded the seizure of the Zaporizhzhia NPP, were notified of suspicion in absentia, the SBU reported on Thursday, UNN writes.
The Security Service has collected evidence against six more rashists who participated in the seizure of Europe's largest nuclear power plant, the Zaporizhzhia NPP, in March 2022
According to the SBU, we are talking about three Russian generals and other representatives of the command of the occupation groups of the Russian Guard, namely:
- Major General Dmitry Chistyakov – commander of the 102nd separate operational brigade in the Republic of Dagestan, Russia;
- Major General Oleksiy Dombrovsky – Deputy Head of the Main Department of the Russian Guard for the Krasnodar Territory of the Russian Federation;
- Major General Yuriy Lukachov – commander of the 22nd separate operational brigade "Cobra" of the North Caucasus District of the Russian Guard (at the time of the crime he was a colonel);
- Colonel Oleksiy Reshetnev – commander of the regiment for the protection of important state facilities of the Volga District of the Russian Guard;
- Colonel Serhiy Dovgan – Head of the Department for the Organization of Protection of Important State Facilities of the Siberian District of the Russian Guard;
- Lieutenant Colonel Murakhdan Akhmedkhanov – commander of the reinforced tactical group of the 749th separate operational battalion of the Russian Guard in the Republic of Dagestan, Russia.
"According to the investigation, at the beginning of the full-scale war, Russian officials ordered their subordinates to attack the energy facility using heavy weapons," the statement said.
It was documented how, during the seizure of the nuclear power plant, the rashists shelled the station with tanks and other types of armored vehicles.
As a result of the fire damage, an employee of the station and two other citizens died, and a fourth was injured. In addition, enemy shelling could damage technological equipment and cause a man-made disaster.
Based on the collected evidence, SBU investigators informed the perpetrators in absentia of suspicion under Part 2 of Article 28, Part 1 of Article 438 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (violation of the laws and customs of war, committed by prior conspiracy by a group of persons).
Indictments against all defendants have been sent to court.
