Two more Russian servicemen who raped women and children during the occupation of Kyiv region have been notified of suspicion.
Russian executioners were not stopped by pleas for clemency or the age of the victims - the youngest was only 4 years old, TSN reports.
At the beginning of the full-scale war, convoys of heavy equipment advanced on the capital for several days, but the Ukrainian military managed to stop them.
The occupiers stayed in the villages that were on the way.
Civilians were shot and looted in between shelling.
At first they robbed local shops, then they started going to houses.
In addition to food, they were looking for vodka and women.
After two weeks of war, Russian soldiers, due to the lack of victories on the battlefield, began to break away from the local people.
"They just went to every house, they understood where the women were.
The first was a young family, a husband and wife and a young daughter.
They raped both the child and the woman, beat the husband and forced him to watch his wife being raped," the Prosecutor General's Office said.
According to investigators, only two Russian soldiers offended 12 residents in one day, three of whom were minors.
"These are servicemen of the Russian Federation, they are 28 and 31 years old, from the 15th Guards Motorized Rifle Brigade of the Sniper Company of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation," the investigators added.
According to the investigative journalists of "Informnapalm", the soldiers of the 15th brigade of the Russian Armed Forces took an active part in the capture of Crimea and Donbas.
The military unit from Samara has peacekeeping status and can carry out missions around the world under the auspices of the UN.
After the full-scale invasion of Ukraine, the Russian "peacekeepers" distinguished themselves only by active looting and abuse of civilians.
Investigators of the police and the Prosecutor General's Office established the data of two war criminals.
TSN journalists managed to find their profiles in social networks.
Both suspects are contract soldiers of the Russian army, snipers.
One of them, judging by the obituary of the local village council, died in April last year in Ukraine.
Posthumously awarded the Order for Courage.
Ukrainian victims of their abuse, who agreed to testify, recognized the Russian torturers.
They will be tried in absentia for violating the laws and customs of war.
"These crimes take place systematically, with the permission of the management or at the direction of the management.
And now we are developing a database of materials to submit to an international court, so that not only the executors, but also the top management of the Russian Federation be brought to justice," the Prosecutor General's Office says.
Immediately after the liberation of Ukrainian territories from rioters, investigators of the Prosecutor General's Office and the police come to populated areas.
Sexual violence by the Russian military against Ukrainians is being investigated with particular care.
Most victims are not ready to talk about such crimes.
Currently, more than 170 cases are being investigated, only 9 Russian rapists have received suspicion.
However, their number is much larger.
If Ukrainian justice does not reach them, the Armed Forces of Ukraine are ready to deliver the sentence.
