TFR said the establishment was involved in the shelling of Donbass from “Tochka-U”
Russia’s investigative Committee identified the commander of the Ukrainian army, who gave the order for the use of missile complex “Tochka-U” against the people of Donbass. About it said acting head of Department on interaction with mass-media Svetlana Petrenko, reports “RIA Novosti”.
According to the UK fire involved the commander of 19-th separate missile brigade of the APU, Colonel Fyodor Yaroshevich. The Agency believes that it 22 Aug 2014 gave the order to strike tactical missiles on the settlement Rovenki, which killed three people, including a child.
As noted Petrenko, “it is clear that the actions of specific officers of the Ukrainian army were deliberate in nature.” They, she said, constitute an offense under the article about the use of prohibited means and methods of conducting war (article 356 of the criminal code).
In addition, TFR opened a criminal case under part 1 of article 356 of the criminal code “according to the numerous facts of shelling of houses in the city of Donetsk in the period from 27 February to 2 March this year.” As a result of them were wounded two civilians and damaged more than 10 houses.
13 Feb Petrenko said that the Russian investigators “documented overwhelming evidence” of use of the Ukrainian army missile complexes “Tochka-U” against the civilian population in the Donbass. In particular, she said, “the code of criminal procedure provides” evidence of the use of missiles in Lugansk, Rovenki village of Krasnodon district, Luhansk oblast (now controlled by units of the self-proclaimed LNR).
The headquarters of the antiterrorist operation (ATO) Leonid Matyukhin in the comments of RBC called “nonsense” statement of the TFR. According to him, the Russian authorities “can be regarded as a provocation”.
