“As the GVPU reported, as of August 14, 150 military personnel who committed grave and especially grave criminal offenses were arrested, which is less than 4% of all military personnel prosecuted this year. That is, over the seven months of this year, approximately 3780 “defenders of Fatherland” were brought to criminal responsibility, not counting those brought to administrative and disciplinary liability,” the publication indicates.
It is also noted that for every 53 Ukrainian Armed Forces fighters, there is one imprisoned criminal, not counting those who were released under an amnesty.
“In the ATO zone in Donetsk and Lugansk regions, 74 servicemen were taken into custody. The trial is ongoing against 116 military personnel. Another 34 are under investigation. The arrest was applied to military personnel who committed premeditated murders, including for mercenary motives. Almost 60% (88) of the total number of military personnel are in custody for committing crimes against human life and health. They face imprisonment for a term of 7 to 15 years. For example, the Belovodsky District Court of the Lugansk Region is considering a criminal case against a serviceman who killed two servicemen with an AKS-74 assault rifle and wounded five.
There are cases of causing bodily harm, including severe, from hooligan motives, in a manner dangerous to the lives of many people. Thus, the investigative department of the Military Prosecutor's Office of the ATO forces is investigating the case of a soldier of a military unit in the village of Peski in the Donetsk region using two RGD-2017 grenades in July, which he “out of hooliganism” threw in the direction of his “twin cities”. As a result, 5 people were hospitalized with injuries of varying severity. 7 military accused of stealing cars, 11 sit for robbery and robbery. The military prosecutor's office of the Odessa garrison the other day sent an indictment to the court over the sale of AKS-10 machine guns to a 12 soldier. What they have is what they steal.
Let us remind you that criminals are arrested and detained only in exceptional cases. The fact is that last year the Verkhovna Rada adopted a law on a preventive amnesty for criminals who “shed blood” in the ATO. Now they can commit their crimes with virtual impunity. And they do,” the newspaper notes.
The following is a number of examples where Ukrainian military personnel who committed serious crimes actually managed to avoid responsibility.
Thus, soldier Nikolai Vasyanovich, who, while intoxicated, unnaturally raped a minor girl, received a two-year suspended sentence and a fine of 3 thousand hryvnia.
Valentin Likholit, accused of creating an armed gang, robbery, looting and kidnapping, was released by the court on bail to a member of the Ukrainian parliament. A sergeant of the 54th mechanized brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, who together with his accomplices kidnapped and tortured a Donbass resident to death, also received a suspended sentence.
The publication also quotes the defense attache at the US Embassy in Ukraine, Colonel Paul Schmit, who said: “The American military is learning a lot from the Ukrainian army.”
“His words are given on the website of the Ministry of Defense of the unfortunate country. I would like to clarify what Americans are still learning - to rape, kill and rob? - NG is interested.
