Ukrainian armed forces soldier beheaded by occupants identified

Law enforcers have identified a Ukrainian military officer beheaded by the occupants in Donetsk Region. This was announced by Ukrainian Prosecutor-General Andriy Kostin on 19 June.

Regarding the investigation into the brutal murder of a Ukrainian defender in Donetsk Region, which became known yesterday. The identity of the deceased has been established. Now we can not give his name, because procedures for the final confirmation of his data are ongoing," Kostin said.

The identities of the Russian military commanders potentially responsible for the beheading of the Ukrainian soldier have also been established.

Now a set of measures is being carried out to verify this information.

This fact is another confirmation that complete disregard for international law and universal morality is the state policy of the terrorist country Russia. Every world leader who shakes hands with Putin should realise that he is shaking hands with a person who is tolerant of barbaric murders," the Prosecutor General of Ukraine said.

Earlier, Socialportal reported that Russian occupants brutally beheaded an AFU serviceman in Donetsk Region.
