Three Russian pilots suspected of bombing civilian buildings in the Kharkiv and Sumy regions are among at least seven Russian servicemen against whom Kyiv is preparing war crimes charges, the Ukrainian Prosecutor General’s Office told Reuters.
It says others include two rocket operators allegedly shelling settlements in the Kharkiv region and two military suspects in the murder of a Kyiv resident and the rape of his wife.
The prosecution said it had notified the suspects and the investigation was ongoing, adding that no charges had been filed in court.
He did not name the suspects, nor did he provide evidence to support the allegations. It says some of the suspects were held captive, without specifying where, while other charges were being prepared in absentia.
Ukraine says it is investigating about 7,600 potential war crimes and at least 500 suspects since the Russian invasion.
