Ukrainian security officials say Deputy Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation, Andrei Kartapolov, is now a suspect in the criminal case probing the enemy seizure of Debaltseve and the killings in the so-called Ilovaisk Cauldron where Ukrainian military suffered heavy losses after being lured into withdrawal from the zone of hostilities and then brutally attacked despite promises to hold fire.
That s according to the SBU press office.
The security agency noted that the charges had been pressed under several articles of the Criminal Code:
Art. 110 P. 3 (Encroachment on the territorial integrity and inviolability of Ukraine);
Art. 437 P. 2 (Conducting an aggressive war);
Prosecutor general s office: Leak has not compromised proceedings
Spokesperson for the Office of the Prosecutor General Kairi Kungas told BNS Friday that: Our position is that the publication of a story in the media has not rendered establishing the truth in the ongoing criminal proceeding impossible or made it substantially more difficult. Furthermore, the prosecutor s office does not see the publication of the story in the media either rendering impossible or making more difficult the lodging of charges in subsequent stages of the proceedings. Nor can it be considered unimportant that a number of public procedural acts have already been conducted in the criminal proceeding, and that the publication of information has not rendered impossible the procedural acts to be conducted in the future, or planned procedural acts, Kungas said.
The regional trial court (RTC) in Jolo, Sulu has issued arrest warrants against nine dismissed policemen who were charged for the killing of four Army intelligence officers last year, the Department of Justice (DOJ) said Friday, Jan. 15.
