During the occupation of Volchansk in the Kharkiv region in March 2022, Russian forces broke into a home, assaulted a married couple with a firearm and a bat, shot at their legs, and threatened to kill them for their pro-Ukrainian stance and assistance to the Armed Forces of Ukraine, reported the National Police of Ukraine.
Failing to extract any confessions from the couple, the Russians searched their home and stole one hundred thousand hryvnias.
Operatives from the Criminal Investigation Department of the National Police identified the criminals. They are a 42-year-old serviceman from the 71st Order of the Red Banner Brigade of Landing Ships of the Baltic Fleet of the Russian Federation from the Kaliningrad region and a 52-year-old leader of one of the operational groups of the 5th Service of the FSB of the Russian Federation from Rostov-on-Don.
They have been notified of their suspicion. The suspects face up to 12 years in prison.
