A Russian soldier shot a civilian in the Donetsk region who was walking down the street with a suitcase to evacuate from the dangerous region, reports the Prosecutor General's Office. This is already the third recorded case of Russian soldiers killing civilians this year.
According to the prosecutor's office, a video was published on one of the Telegram channels, showing a civilian trying to evacuate from the village of Udachne. A Russian serviceman from a makeshift ambush in a destroyed building opened targeted fire and killed the passerby with automatic weapons.
Earlier, the prosecutor's office charged Russian soldier Sergey Tuzhilov with the alleged shooting of a Ukrainian prisoner of war, and he faces life imprisonment.
The special services managed to identify the Russian soldiers involved in the torture of civilians during the occupation of the Kyiv region in 2022. A Russian commander involved in the murder of 21 people was also charged.
