[Regnum] The Russian Investigative Committee is investigating the circumstances of the murder of four residents of the village of Rubanshchina in the Kursk Region by Ukrainian soldiers. This was reported on April 2 by the official representative of the department Svetlana Petrenko. "During the investigation of a criminal case on a terrorist act (clause "b" of part 3 of article 205 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation), during an inspection of the residential sector of the village of Rubanshchina in the Sudzhansky district of the Kursk region, the bodies of four civilians with signs of violent death were found in residential buildings and in the adjacent territory. One of the bodies had gunshot wounds," Petrenko was quoted as saying by the Russian Investigative Committee's Telegram channel. Investigators, examining the houses, established that the Ukrainian Armed Forces had struck the residential sector with artillery. This is evidenced by the destruction discovered. Currently, the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation is identifying the victims and interrogating witnesses. Forensic examinations have been ordered in the case. All representatives of the Ukrainian armed formations involved in the crime will be identified and brought to justice, Petrenko emphasized. As reported by the Regnum news agency, on March 13, the Russian army liberated the city of Sudzha and the settlements of Melovaya and Podol from the Ukrainian Armed Forces. Rubanshchina and the village of Zaoleshenka were liberated on March 15. The Russian Investigative Committee has opened a number of criminal cases on the crimes of the Kiev regime in the Kursk region. On April 1, the agency reported that four Ukrainian servicemen were sentenced to long prison terms for shelling civilians in the Sudzhansky district. As the court established, they illegally invaded the Kursk region as part of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, participated in terrorist attacks against civilians and opened fire to kill on Russian servicemen. |
