Az amerikai igazságügyi minisztérium háborús bűnökkel vádol négy orosz férfit, köztük két parancsnokot, amiért állítólag részt vettek egy amerikai megkínzásában az ukrajnai invázió során. Ez az első vádemelés az orosz fegyveres erők tagjai ellen az Ukrajna elleni háború során elkövetett atrocitásokkal kapcsolatban – írta meg az AP News.
A vádak szerint – amelyeket egy közel 30 éves amerikai törvény alapján emeltek a négy orosz személy ellen – többek között azt állítják, hogy megkínoztak és embertelenül bántak Ukrajnában egy amerikai személlyel szemben. A lépés egyelőre szimbolikus jelentőségű, mivel mind a négy vádlott jelenleg szökésben van.
Az érintett orosz katonákat azzal vádolják, hogy 2022-ben elraboltak egy amerikai férfit egy ukrajnai faluban lévő otthonából. Az áldozatot állítólag megverték, kínvallatásnak vetették alá és durván bántak vele a további 10 napos fogsága alatt egy orosz katonai táborban. Annak ellenére, hogy a szökevények elfogásának valószínűsége csekély, amerikai tisztviselők az ügyet történelmi pillanatnak nevezték az orosz háborús bűnökkel kapcsolatos folyamatban lévő nyomozásban, és utaltak arra, hogy a jövőben további eljárások követhetik a mostaniakat.
Merrick Garland igazságügyi miniszter, hangsúlyozva az amerikai kormány elkötelezettségét, kijelentette: „Ez az első ügyünk, de még többre számíthatnak”.
Mint ismert, a Nemzetközi Büntetőbíróság márciusban elfogatóparancsot adott ki Vlagyimir Putyin orosz elnök ellen háborús bűnök miatt. A Biden-kormányzat a kongresszust is sürgeti katonai és gazdasági támogatásért, hogy támogassa Ukrajnát az Oroszország elleni háborús erőfeszítéseiben.
