[Regnum] The court sentenced the commander of the engineering and technical company of the 36th Separate Navak Infantry Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU), Alexander Svinarchuk, to life imprisonment for ordering the execution of 37 civilians of Mariupol. This was reported on the Telegram channel of the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation. “The evidence collected by the Investigative Committee of Russia was recognized by the court as sufficient to convict the commander of the engineering and technical company of the engineering and technical support group of the Ukrainian 36th Separate Naval Infantry Brigade, Alexander Svinarchuk. He was found guilty of committing crimes under paragraphs “a”, “g”, “l” of Part 2 of Art. 105 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (murder of two or more persons committed by an organized group motivated by political, ideological hatred), Part 3 of Art. 30 (attempted murder of two or more persons, committed by an organized group motivated by political, ideological hatred), Part 1 of Art. 356 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (use of prohibited means and methods in armed conflict) ,” the information says. According to the investigation and the court, from February 28 to April 9, 2022, Svinarchuk gave orders to his subordinates Vitaly Antonov , Denis Rashpl and Igor Taran to shoot civilians in Mariupol. Thus, the Ukrainian military killed 21 civilians and also tried to shoot 16 people who had taken refuge from the shelling in a safe place. Svinarchuk admitted his guilt completely. The court imposed a sentence of life imprisonment. In September, the Supreme Court of the Donetsk People's Republic sentenced sound meter and radiotelephonist Igor Taran to life imprisonment. The case materials indicated that, executing the criminal order of the commander, the defendant shot the men with a machine gun, as a result, two men died on the spot, and two more managed to escape from the shelling. |
