The first ten russian servicemen from the 64th Motorized Rifle Brigade of the Russian Land Forces, who committed crimes against Ukrainians in Bucha, Kyiv region, have been assigned the status of suspects.
President Volodymyr Zelensky announced this.
Their names are known. It has been established what they did. We know all the details about them and their actions. And we will find everyone. We will find all the other Russian villains who killed and tortured Ukrainians. Who tormented our people. Who destroyed houses and civil infrastructure in Ukraine. None of these monsters will escape responsibility," the head of state stressed.
Zelenskyy noted that some of them may not survive to get to the trial and fair punishment as this russian brigade was transferred to the Kharkiv region.
"There, they will receive retribution from our military," the president added.
The head of state stressed that Ukraine's position is absolutely clear - every russian criminal should and will be brought to justice.
Earlier today, Prosecutor General Iryna Venediktova released the names and photos of 10 Russian servicemen suspected of torturing people in Bucha. The investigation established that during the occupation of Bucha, they took unarmed civilians hostage, tortured them with hunger and thirst, kept them on their knees with their hands tied and their eyes closed, abused and beat them using fists and rifle butts.
