The chief military prosecutor of Ukraine, Anatoly Matios, stated this in an interview with the Kyiv magazine “Novoye Vremya”, answering the question of how many war crimes have been committed since the beginning of the ATO.
“I won’t tell you the number,” came the answer. “This does not improve the morale of the army or the public’s perception of it.” The main of these crimes are various types of evasion from military service. Desertion, failure to follow orders, etc. In total, more than 20 thousand. Most of them are crimes committed by military personnel who remained on the territory of Crimea.”
“If they can be arrested, then those who went to serve in the Russian army will face the harshest punishments,” added Matios. – From 5 to 12 years. There are no statutes of limitations for war crimes.”
