Prosecutors from the Office of the Prosecutor General have sent to court an indictment against two Russian servicemen accused of sexual violence against a minor resident of the occupied part of Kherson Region.

This was reported by the Kherson Regional Prosecutor’s Office.

According to the investigation, on 24 March 2024 the soldiers, under the pretext of checking the time, lured the girl into a car and forcibly dragged her inside. There, she was forced to swallow an unknown substance, after which she entered a state that limited her ability to resist.

Law enforcement officials say the minor was then taken to the outskirts of a settlement, where both soldiers raped her. The girl was later transported to a house, where the sexual violence was repeated.

The accused are the squad commander of the Kadyrov “North-Akhmat” special unit and a medic from a motor rifle company of the Russian armed forces.

In July and August 2026, they were notified of suspicion. The indictment under Part 1 of Article 438 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (cruel treatment of the civilian population by prior conspiracy) has now been forwarded to the court.
