Criminal investigation opened in shelling of houses in Donbass that wounded 9-year-old Ivan Voronov and killed his younger brother

The Main Investigations Directorate of the Russia’s Investigative Committee has launched a criminal investigation in crimes under articles 356, 105, 30 and 105 of the RF penal Code (use of prohibited means and methods of warfare, murder and attempted murder) following the shelling of houses on the outskirts of the town of Shakhtyorsk by Ukrainian military forces. The shelling badly wounded a 9-year-old boy Ivan Voronov and killed his 5-year-old brother.

The Investigative Committee will do the hardest to get to those Ukrainian mockeries of soldiers: both those who gave orders to shell living blocks and those who followed those orders compliantly. I can assure new “heroes” of Ukraine that we do know their names. And sooner or later they will have to answer not only for pain and sufferings of Ivan Voronov, death of his brother, but for all killed and mutilated Dombass children. If they will not see those killed and maimed children of Donbass, then each day and each minute they will be haunted by fear of unavoidable punishment. All the names of the infanticides will be announced publicly.
